PACE is a federally funded program providing services to children ages three to five (non-kindergarten) years of age who are potty trained. Services are provided at no cost to eligible children and eligibility is determined through a developmental screening process. Our purpose is to overcome as many concerns as possible by involving children in developmentally appropriate activities, and to enhance and empower parents to better teach their children.
PACE is a Title 1 Preschool offered by the Waynesville R-VI School District.
PAT is a family education and support program that begins prenatal through age 3. It is a flexible program for all parents of young children and provides timely information on child development and neuroscience research.
