Space Coast Early Intervention Center
The preschool where every child can learn and grow!
Please check your child’s folder above our classroom cubbies to find a new handout that I have placed in the folders. The handout is a wonderful resource to see where your child is in his/her development. If there are any questions or concerns please come talk to me so we can develop a plan to help your child reach the milestone(s) he/she is struggling with. Thanks!
-Ms. Ashlee
We hope everyone had a day filled with love and happiness!

Our field trip to Brevard Zoo is quickly approaching. We will be going on Friday February 3 at 9:45am-1:30pm. The cost is $10/per person (adult or child). We will be eating lunch at the zoo so pack a sack lunch with a beverage. Also, please remember that we are unable to use any annual passes on this trip so if you would like to attend our trip as a parent chaperone you must pay the $10 fee. We hope to see you there!
Our field trip has been postponed for January 26, due to the bus driver starting a new job. We will reschedule as soon as he is done with his training and goes on the night shift position.
Thanks to the initiative of members from the 2012 Leadership Brevard Class, SCEIC has a new and improved playground for students and the community to enjoy! The “Project: Make a Difference” campaign began with acquiring donations to cover the expense of upgrading the playground from wood mulch to safer recycled rubber mulch. The project would require a massive 26 tons of rubber mulch, over 50 volunteers, several heavy equipment vehicles and dozens of shovels, rakes, buckets and wheelbarrows!
The original plan was to replace the mulch on the north side of our playground. By Saturday afternoon, head project engineer, Dan Howick of Danella Corp, began to suspect there would be enough rubber mulch to cover the south playground as well. By noon on Sunday, the team was well on their way to replacing the entire 15,000 square foot playground with the new rubber mulch!
This project is significant because it reduces the long term repeated expenses of replacing wood mulch. Rubber mulch lasts for 10 years and does not degrade or blow
away like regular wood mulch. In addition, rubber mulch provides the best protection possible protection against falls which reduces the chance of injury on the playground. Unlike wood mulch, rubber mulch minimizes dust and allergens, does not scratch or splinter and will not attract insects. Plus, rubber mulch is ADA approved, making the entire surface wheelchair accessible!
SCEIC thanks the many volunteers and sponsors who made this project possible. You have truly made a difference that will last for many years to come. The new surface will be enjoyed by hundreds of children in our community!
Members of the “Project – Make A Difference” team consists of: Steven Audino, Marvin Ferrell, Matt Gifford, Dan Howick, Darby Koller, Tim Pirlo, Melissa Romero and Chris Sorensen. These team members reflect the diverse business participation in Leadership Brevard from various partners like Danella Construction, Sorensen Allied Moving & Storage, Luke & Associates, Wells Fargo Advisors; and other entities such as AMI Kids, 98.5 FM The Beach, and NASA. Special thanks to Liberty Tire for donating an additional 3 tons of mulch, making it possible to replace all the mulch on the playground.
We will be going on a Field Trip to Play Plus on January 26, 2012. All children need to be to school by 8:30 in order to have a snack and be ready to get on the bus at 9:00. We will be eating lunch at school.
Don’t forget! We are taking a short field trip tomorrow to a local park to learn about some animals and enjoy a nice boardwalk trail to complete a scavenger hunt of the things we are learning about! We will be back in time for VPK dismissal. Can’t wait to see you!
We now have student openings in many of our classes including the after school program. Call 321-729-6858 for more information. Come and find out why we are the best preschool in Brevard for your child!
