Preschool

Butler County Educational Service Center (BCESC) partners with school districts in Butler and Hamilton counties to provide inclusive preschool services for children ages 3-5. We work with school districts to implement programs that build strong, developmentally-appropriate foundations for early learning and ensure that all children are socially, emotionally and cognitively ready for kindergarten. Both general education and special education instruction is available for preschool children with identified needs.

BCESC has established an ongoing commitment to provide recognized quality programming for preschool children. As a result, each of our preschool classrooms has received a Five-Star Step Up To Quality rating from the Ohio Department of Education.
