Description: The LBC Early Years Center is an integrated preschool program that is offered to all Branford children between the ages of 3 and 5, for children who have been identified with exceptionalities, as well as children who qualify as peer mentors. Every month, a developmental screening is offered to all Branford preschool-age children. Families can have their child screened at any point throughout the school year. A child may be referred for a screening to address parental concerns or to be considered as a peer mentor.
