Careers in Education (CIE)
The Little Clipper Preschool is affiliated with the Careers in Education program. We serve up to 18 preschool students per year, ages 28 months (potty trained) to five years.

They are given the opportunity to experience the preschool classroom under the direct supervision of the CIE teacher and Preschool Teacher through observations, creating lesson plans, and direct interaction with the preschool students.
