The entire staff of the Dickinson-Iron Intermediate School District Department of Early Childhood Education is committed to working together in a positive manner.

​We believe all children can learn.

We believe in working cooperatively with local agencies and school districts to provide appropriate services which will allow students to have a meaningful educational experience and to achieve their maximum potential.

The Dickinson-Iron Intermediate School District Department of Early Childhood Education has long espoused the philosophy that the parent is the most important influence in the development of the child. We view the child and the family as a total entity replete with strengths and needs. As a result of these beliefs, we recognize that we, as an Intermediate School District Department of Early Childhood Education, cannot meet all the needs of the child and family. The family deserves to have at its disposal a full spectrum of service agencies and programs. Therefore, the Dickinson-Iron Intermediate School District Department of Early Childhood Education believes that it is essential to create a service model that will, together with the family, provide for optimum early intervention as a means to allow the full potential of the child.
