SPECTRUM
SPECTRUM is an at risk preschool program for children three to five years of age who reside in rural Champaign County. The program serves children who have a variety of needs, including those who would benefit from a preschool experience before kindergarten in order to increase their academic readiness skills. Spectrum is a grant funded program and all students must be screened for risk factors and not all students will be offered a spot within the program. Our program uses the Creative Curriculum, which is research based, to deliver content packed with academic/social-emotional/cognitive learning. Spectrum is a 2.5 hour program with classrooms in Thomasboro, St. Joseph and Unity East. Questions pertaining to the Spectrum Program can be directed to Jennifer Armstrong at armstrongj@rccsec.org.
