Welcome

If you live in the Marysville Exempted Village School District (MEVSD) and need to make a referral for special education preschool services for your child, Please contact Courtney West, Preschool Student Services Administrative Assistant, by calling (937) 578-6140.  

All eligible preschool students that live in MEVSD are considered Marysville students and will need to complete the district’s enrollment process. Parents will need to provide a copy of the student’s birth certificate, proof of residence (utility bill associated with the house or mortgage/lease statement), and if applicable, you will also need to provide custody paperwork.

MEVSD has evaluation teams at the following location:

Mini Monarch Academy                 

1280 Charles Lane 

Marysville, OH 43040 

937-578-6700

Upon completion of an evaluation, if your child is eligible for services, a determination will be made for the best placement for services based on student needs and availability.  This could include one of our classrooms at the Mini Monarch Academy or itinerantly at your child's preschool or daycare. 

The Marysville School District provides early childhood education for young children with disabilities. To help provide a well rounded experience, Marysville Schools welcomes peer models within the classrooms. 
 
The intent is for the child with special needs to learn appropriate language and social behavior from the peer models, while the peer models learn about disabilities and how children with disabilities are more like themselves than they are different. The classrooms will be staffed with at least one teacher and one classroom assistant and will be able to have up to 15 students with up to 7 of those students being a part of the peer model program. The classroom size will fluctuate based on the room capacity, students and their needs. 
 
Tuition for peers during the 2026-2027 school year will be $175.00 per month and must be paid by the first of the month beginning in September through May.
 

Eligibility Factors for Peer Enrollment:

• Age 3 to 5 years, must be younger than 6 years of age on August 25th. 
• Must be toilet trained. 
• Availability of space. If all peer spots are filled, a waitlist will be created and maintained. 
• Selection determined by the following rank order:
  • Sibling of current enrollee
  • Child of Marysville Schools Staff
  • Children selected from the Marysville Community
  • Provision of a record of immunizations, verification of birth, proof of Marysville residency and medical exam. 
• Transportation must be provided by the family. MEVSD is NOT providing transportation for peer models.
