DCIU Comprehensive Facility Study 4
Educational Rationale• Early Childhood Education
o Expand DCIU’s ability to create an early childhood center for our typically developing children in Head Start and our students with disabilities in Early Intervention
o Create opportunities to serve children in need of Head Start services from the Penn Delco School District
