So I'd like more information on the preschool. My 4 year old son has some developmental delays--he was assessed through our local public Child Find program--but I'm not sure if that's what is meant by "disabilities". Also he is not 100% potty trained-almost there but not quite. Same for his 2 1/2 year old brother (who has no delays). So would there be any opportunities for preschool for them?

Thanks so much for this! I started school in Sollars. I miss that place so much. I miss the whole base. I wonder how much it's changed in fifteen years.

Some of the people on the list for family daycare provide 1/2 day preschool programs too.

The Sure Start program is not limited to only E4 and below. Others can always apply, it just depends on space available and specific family situations. There is a Sure Start class in both elementary schools.

Also there are preschool services for children with disabilities. PSCD classes can be found in both elementary schools.

The Fun & Learning Center off base (Japanese owned, American run)provides part & full time daycare, as well as running a preschool type program in the morning. The fees are set at the same price for everyone, not based on income.

Thank you!

There is also a homeschool group, Misawa Home Educators(MHE) for those who choose to homeschool their children. MHE consists of homeschooling families who work closely together to provide the best homeschooling experience at Misawa Air Base, Japan. You can join the group or find out more about homeschooling in Misawa by going to this link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MisawaHomeEducators/?v=1&t=search&ch=web&pub=groups&sec=group&slk=1 When you become a member of MHE, you will have access to resources, friendship for your kids and yourself with other homeschooling parents, communication with other homeschoolers, field trips, parties, mom's night out and more to support your homeschooling efforts! We enjoyed being part of this group while we lived in Japan. It helped enhance our homeschool journey while we lived in Misawa.
