Education Programs: Lexington Hearing & Speech Center

Education Programs
Lexington Hearing & Speech Center offers educational programming focused on teaching children to listen and talk, serving children 6 weeks of age through kindergarten. Featuring language and literacy-enriched curriculum and small student to teacher ratios, the oral programs provide a superior educational foundation for all children. Children with hearing loss, speech/language delays and typically developing children benefit from LHSC’s inclusive classroom settings.

In addition to meeting state licensing requirements, LHSC maintains a Level 3 STARS for KIDS NOW rating. This designation demonstrates a commitment to quality early childhood education.

On-site clinical services are an essential component of our educational programming. These services include individual speech/lanuage therapy, daily checks of hearing aids and cochlear implant functioning, monthly checks of middle ear functioning via tympanograms, continual monitoring of the child’s hearing and adjustment of hearing aids, and provision of amplification equipment as needed. Both individual and classroom FM systems are also used to obtain maximum acoustic benefit. Children who do not currently receive clinical services are also screened to ensure age-appropriate development.

Preschool
LHSC offers morning and afternoon preschool, as well as full-day kindergarten. Extended childcare is available year-round from 7:30am to 5:30pm. Listening and spoken language classroom activities, individualized education plans, small class sizes and parental involvement all come together to provide a positive and productive learning experience. Our teachers and staff work hard to prepare each child for integration into an elementary school classroom, often at language and literacy levels above those of their peers.

Day School
Lexington Hearing & Speech Center provides safe and loving childcare for children 6 weeks to 3 years old. Small group sizes and child to teacher ratios foster an environment for teaching all children to listen and talk. The Center is open year-round, Monday through Friday, from 7:30am to 5:30pm.

For toddlers and children aged 18 months through 7 years who receive speech therapy and don’t want to lose skills over the summer, we also have Language Stimulation camps.
