Programs

• Carriage House Preschool and the Endeavor Program
  

  In 2003, Carriage House partnered with FEAT of Louisville, Inc to extend its traditional preschool program to provide a specialized program for children with autism and other developmental disabilities that is geared toward serving their unique educational needs.

  The Endeavor Program is a year round, early educational program for children ages 2 - 6 years, who have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other developmental disabilities. The goal of Endeavor is to prepare children for future education in a public or private school setting.

  Enrollment options include either half or full day classes. With up to six children and three to four trained staff per classroom, the Endeavor Program ensures the intense interactions and instructional guidance that children with autism require to learn in a group setting. Visit the Endeavor Program link on the homepage for more detailed information.
