Transitioning from Birth t0 Three Program
Welcome to MCIU Preschool! It is our intent to ensure a smooth transition and entry to Preschool Early Intervention services. Parent/caregivers and teachers, in order to obtain copies of our referral forms, please contact us at 484-685-1856.
Please use the button below to access the Birth to Three Interventionist Transition Questionnaire and the Teacher/Caregiver Questionnaire for the Preschool/Daycare teacher to complete.
