To help support families when children transition from the Infants and Toddlers Program (ITP) to the Local School System (LSS) preschool special education program or other community-based early child- hood setting; the Maryland State Depart. Of Education (MSDE) has made funding available to local ITPs to expand services provided through the local Family Support Network (FSN). Preschool Partners provides ongoing support to families of children ages 3 through 5; maintaining the connections with the local ITP; as well as fostering new connections among families; preschool programs; and community services.

Our goal is to facilitate communications and collaboration between parents and families; educators and administrators; and community leaders; in order to enhance services available for students with special needs and advocate for positive changes in Special Education services within the Calvert County Public School System. The Calvert SECAC will review the Calvert County Public School (CCPS) staffing Plan; corrective Action Plans; and the Special Education Master Plan as part of meeting this goal.
