Archild Preschool Services
Developmental & Regular Preschool Programs
Archild’s EIDT program covers the following learning domains: Cognitive, Self-Help, Social-Emotional, Fine and Gross Motor.
Our teacher assistants work under the guidance of our early childhood and special education teachers to deliver individualized educational programming to meet each child’s individual needs while maximizing their abilities.
In addition to providing EIDT services for children with special needs, Archild is certified as a Level Two Arkansas Better Beginnings childcare provider.

Here’s what parents have to say…
My favorite thing about Archild is that they are an integrated school. This allows my son to be interactive and learn alongside typically developing peers his age, and he’s not treated differently. Archild focuses on children’s abiliteis who just happen to have disabilities!
