Harley Hopkins Family Center ECSE: Early Childhood Special Education

ECSE is a program in the Hopkins School District that provides Early Intervention Services for children from birth to kindergarten who have identified special education needs. The purpose of Early Intervention Services is to intervene at the earliest stages when delays or disruptions in development are first identified, to help children reach their full potential. Early Intervention Services are provided in a variety of ways, dependent upon the child's age and identified special needs. Children qualify for the services by meeting criteria established by the MN Dept of Education. There are separate eligibility criteria for children from Birth to Two and then from Three to Five years old. Early Intervention Services are provided free to all children who have identified special education needs.
