About Us Adult Services Children Services Employment News Events Foundation More About Us Adult Services Children Services Employment News Events Foundation More Donate Now Preschool Program Integrated Preschool As a universal pre-kindergarten provider, CP Rochester’s Augustin Children’s Center provides preschool services to both children with disabilities and without disabilities. Our classes of 12 children are fully-integrated (six children with disabilities and six children without disabilities). Each classroom is led by a master’s level special education teacher and three classroom aides for a 1:4 adult-to-child ratio. We offer music sessions through our licensed music therapist. For those children in our preschool program who require therapeutic services, skilled therapists conduct sessions directly in the classroom whenever possible, integrating with the child’s educational experience and allowing the child to maintain a presence with their peers. By being fully integrated, children with disabilities have the opportunity to model the age-appropriate behavior of their peers with access to higher learning standards. Children without disabilities have access to a language enriched, therapeutic learning environment and gain an appreciation of diversity and differences.

CP Rochester opened their Transitional Apartments in late 2020. In this non-certified 7-unit apartment, individuals have their own one-bedroom apartment in an encouraging environment. The living experience offers individuals access to staff during working hours and promotes independence and problem-solving. The small, secure apartment setting allows tenants to learn the skills necessary to be successful in an apartment while reducing risks, such as locking doors, checking visitors’ identities, learning to protect personal information, and more. Community Habilitation staff meet with tenants one-on-one or in small groups to work on individual objectives. Staff utilize a combination of techniques to teach and reinforce new skills including observation, modeling, verbal prompting, and experiential learning. Individualized goals focus on skills development to succeed in community-based settings including cooking, cleaning, shopping, time management, appointment setting, safety skills, and appropriate communication with landlords, neighbors, doctors, and other natural and community supports.
