For Children that Qualify for a Special Class Inclusive Setting (SCIS)
In New York State children receiving special services are recommended for a particular program model by their school district’s Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE). The specific elements of the child’s individual Education Plan are based on the results of their evaluation, with input from previous providers. If a child is turning 3 and transitioning from Early Intervention services, the assigned Service Coordinator will guide a family through the process. Jowonio’s program model is a Special Class Inclusive Setting (SCIS) with three different lengths of day.

For Children Who Do Not Receive Special Education Services
Typically developing children attending Jowonio pay tuition on a sliding scale based on family income. Tuition is waived if a Syracuse City School District (SCSD) resident and registered as Universal Pre-K (UPK). Some scholarship funds are available for families residing outside of SCSD.
