About the Kent County Elementary Intensive Learning Center (KEILC)
The Kent County Elementary Intensive Learning Center is a county-wide special education program for students in grades K-5. Students at KEILC receive curriculum based instruction, individualized instruction and interventions, additional emotional, social and behavioral supports needed to become successful students.
We believe that:
-Behavior is learned and therefore can be unlearned
-Students need pro-social, replacement skills
The Kent Elementary Intensive Learning Center’s mission is to provide students with the necessary social/emotional coping skills and behavioral management techniques to become successful in the mainstream education environment. The Kent Elementary Intensive Learning Center’s philosophy is governed by the belief in the educability of all students, the right of every student to a free and quality education, and that education is the key to opportunity and social mobility.
