Indicator 6: Preschool Environments

Understanding Indicator 6: Preschool Environments

Indicator 6: Preschool least restrictive environment (LRE)  is an SPP/APR indicator focused on the percent of children aged 3 through 5 (not enrolled in kindergarten) with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) who receive special education and related services in settings with children who are typically developing. There are three components to this indicator: 

6a. Children aged 3 through 5 with IEPs who attend a regular early childhood program and receive the majority of their special education and  related services in the regular early childhood program.

6b. Children aged 3 through 5 with IEPs attend a separate special education class, separate school, or residential facility

6c. Children aged 3 through 5 with IEPs who receive their special education and related services in the home.
