Nauset Integrated Preschool provides children with and without disabilities the opportunity to learn and grow in an inclusive, diverse learning environment. The program serves children ages 3-4 with a wide range of abilities and affords all students opportunities for highly specialized teaching and the chance to learn and interact with various learning styles. Nauset Integrated Preschool is language-based, and through hands-on experiences, the curriculum areas of speech and language, motor development, readiness skills, social/emotional, and self-help skills are targeted.

Integrated preschools provide Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) services. ECSE services are designed for young children (aged 3-5) with disabilities who need specially designed instruction or related services and whose disability(ies) impacts the child's ability to participate in developmentally appropriate and typical preschool activities. School districts are required by law to ensure that developmentally appropriate ECSE programs and services are available. ECSE programs and services ensure that all children with disabilities have a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) that is designed to meet their unique needs and enable them to make progress in acquiring knowledge and skills, improving social relationships and learning to take action to meet their needs within the general education program.
