Southdowns School

Welcome Message

Southdowns Pre-Kindergarten Center follows the East Baton Rouge Parish curriculum for Pre-K students as well as all state mandates. We have three types of classes in which our typically developing students participate: BEST, LA4 and Reverse Mainstream. We also offer appropriate class placement for 3-5 year olds who have special needs, such as developmental delays or autism. Students with special needs have opportunities to interact with typically developing peers in classroom settings. Each classroom has one teacher and at least one paraprofessional. Speech therapy, occupational therapy, adapted physical education and physical therapy services are provided as determined by a 1508 evaluation and IEP.  Opportunities to have math and reading skills reinforced with iPads, Smart Tables, and SMART boards in our classrooms.
