Hello!
This form is to assist in gathering information for us to call you for setting up a preschool evaluation for students ages 3 to 5, though we can take your information over the phone at (435) 835-2271 or the preschool directly at (435) 835-2511. Our schools are primarily funded from Special Education but we do take some tuition students. Providing your student's information to this form will get your child on the evaluation list for the next available testing date or for consideration for one of the tuition spots. If you have children ages 0-2 who may require a disability evaluation and possible services, please contact Central Utah Public Health Department Early Intervention at (435) 896-5451or visit their website at
