School Overview

The Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) school, located at 1305 9th Ave S in Fargo, ND, is a specialized educational facility operating under the Fargo Public Schools district. The program is specifically designed to support children from ages three to five who have identified developmental delays or disabilities. By providing early intervention in a structured academic environment, the school focuses on building foundational cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills necessary for students to transition successfully into kindergarten.

The school emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach, often integrating speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy with individualized instruction tailored to each child’s unique needs. Through a play-based and research-driven curriculum, the staff works closely with families to develop Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) that foster independence and developmental growth.

It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
