Early Start (Birth to 3)
The Monterey Peninsula Unified School District Early Start Program services children aged birth to 36 months with developmental disabilities or at risk for developmental disabilities. The goal of the Early Start Program is to provide early intervention to assist children in developing to their fullest potential. To build upon and provide support and resources to family members and caregivers to enhance children's learning and development through everyday learning opportunities.
Early Start requires ongoing collaboration with Regional Centers to provide services to children. MPUSD partners with the San Andreas Regional Center to complete intake, assessment, service delivery and transition. Together, both agencies utilize a planning process called Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) and service-delivery model that consists of home and center based services.
