The Hingham Integrated Preschool is a district wide program. We have preschoolers attend from all areas in Hingham. The preschool goes by the regular school calendar with the same vacations. It should be noted that the preschool starts the same day as Kindergarten and it also ends about 1 week prior to the rest of the school district.
TO OUR PRESCHOOL FAMILIES, WE MISS YOU AND HOPE TO BE BACK WITH YOU SOON! PLEASE STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY!

August 10, 2020 Update
School Committee recently voted unanimously for a phased-in approach for the HPS Reopening Plan. Please see the draft plan in its entirety below. This plan must also be submitted to Department of Elementary and Secondary Education before August 14th for approval. To ensure that our staff and students are given time to adjust to new health and safety protocols and expectations in a lower-risk environment, we will start with a smaller, initial in-school population of only children on Individual Education Programs and phase in community peers over time, as recommended by the public health authorities. We are planning to begin inviting community peers into our preschool during Phase 2 of the District Master Plan. We recognize that this is not ideal for planning purposes, however, we must put the health and safety of our students, staff, and community at the forefront. Our children with special needs will start September 16th or 17th, depending on their schedule.
You will receive a letter indicating your child's teacher at the end of August.

Preschool Screenings: We offer screenings 2 times a school year for preschoolers. Dates will be published here as well as in the Hingham Journal. The first screening will be held in October. The purpose of this screening is to make sure that students do not have a disability requiring additional evaluations. Each screening takes approximately 30 minutes. The teachers/therapists will screen for cognitive, speech and language, fine motor, and gross motor skills. If you suspect that your child may have a disability, please call Darcy Woodyatt at 781-741-1570 - prompt 4; then prompt 1, to schedule an appointment.
In February each year, children who are screened are children who have applied as community, tuition-paying peers for the preschool program, for the following school year. Children must be 3 by September 1. The results will be sent home in the mail by the beginning of March.
A vision and/or hearing screening may be done by the school nurse at your request.
