Sutter Park is the home to Worthington City Schools' Early Childhood Program for children with special needs and typically developing children.  We currently have 14 half-day teachers who have around 12 students in a morning class and 12 students in an afternoon class.  Half of their students have been identified with special needs and half of their students are typically developing peers who serve as role models in the program.  Our 3 year-olds and early 4 year-olds attend the morning classes and our later four year-olds and 5 year-olds attend the afternoon classes. 

We also have 2 half-day teachers who have up to 5 special needs students in their classrooms but no typically developing peers. This program is now called Foundations.  Students are placed in the Foundations program based upon the intense needs identified in their IEPs.  

Principal Tricia Winland joined Sutter Park Preschool in the fall of 2017. She brings a wealth of knowledge in the areas of special education, intervention and assessment.
