Louise and Brett Samsky Preschool

Louise and Brett Samsky Preschool, now offering Georgia Pre-K, is a collaboration of Marcus Autism Center, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Emory University. We operate as both a school and a place of research on preschool education. Because of this unique relationship, our program continuously creates new and better ways of supporting families and meeting the learning needs of all children.

We are open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and located on Briarcliff Road near Emory University. We offer tuition-based classrooms for 2- to 4-year-olds and a lottery-funded Georgia Pre-K classroom for children who are 4 years old by September 1.

We operate on a year-round schedule from August through July. Louise and Brett Samsky Preschool is licensed as a Child Care Learning Center by Georgia’s Department of Early Care and Learning (DECAL; CCLC-47864).

Our unique approach

Our classrooms allow children with and without autism to learn together. Our teachers create flexible classroom environments that accommodate and embrace each child’s individual way of learning. By enrolling in our preschool, your child will discover that all children have their own unique ways of playing, thinking, feeling, relating and learning.

Advancing Research

Louise and Brett Samsky Preschool at Marcus Autism Center is a living research lab where children actively engage with peers in an enriching and inclusive environment while having the opportunity to participate in research studies offered through the Education Sciences Research Core. If you are interested in enrolling your child in a research study, and want to learn more about the Eye Tracking and Social Mapping research that we conduct in our lab, please visit our Education Sciences Research Core page for more information.

Learning alongside a child with autism

To better understand how our school works, it helps to have a basic understanding of autism. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects a child’s social skills, communication or behavior. It often means that a child’s brain develops and works a little differently and can affect how that child understands and relates to others. True to its name, autism is a spectrum. No two children with autism are exactly alike.

Toddlers and preschoolers who have autism may face some unique challenges, but overall they have more in common with their typically developing friends than not. Most differences tend to be subtle and are best understood as part of the range of personalities and learning styles. All children with autism admitted to our program are ready to learn and contribute to their friend’s learning as well.

Experts of the Ministry of Education recommended the adoption of a unified program of preschool education

The Ministry of Education believes that it is possible to “form the foundations of citizenship and patriotism” in children from the age of three / Yevgeny Razumny / Vedomosti

Experts from the Federal Educational and Methodological Association for General Education (FUMO) under the Ministry of Education recommended the adoption of all previously developed draft educational programs, including the preschool education program, which was previously criticized by independent experts. This follows from the minutes of the meeting of the association, which are at the disposal of Vedomosti. nine0003

After discussing the programs, the FUMO members were offered several voting options: apart from recommending or not recommending this or that program for approval, the experts could ask to send it for revision. Nevertheless, all 25 voting members of the FUMO on draft federal programs for preschool, primary general, basic general and secondary general education unanimously recommended that they be approved.

At the end of September, the Ministry of Education published an order that replaced the exemplary educational programs for each level of school and “preschool” with unified federal general education programs (FOOP). Already in November, drafts of these programs appeared on the portal of normative legal acts. Programs for pre-school, as well as primary and secondary education focus on the formation of patriotism, and not just the social and labor education of schoolchildren. For example, teachers in kindergartens should “form the foundations of citizenship and patriotism” in children from three years old. From the age of four, children should get acquainted with state symbols and cultivate a respectful attitude towards them, as well as hear from educators about the holidays Defender of the Fatherland Day and Victory Day. nine0003

In mid-November, experts, including academicians of the Russian Academy of Education (RAO), RANEPA experts, and professors from specialized universities involved in preschool education, criticized the program for preschool education. The main claims – it is not tested, not supported by scientific research, if adopted, the burden on kindergarten teachers will seriously increase. Experts also emphasized that kindergartens do not have financial reserves for its implementation, in addition, children simply will not understand some holidays due to their age, Vedomosti wrote. In a resolution (available from Vedomosti), independent experts asked the Ministry of Education to finalize the draft preschool program and then re-submit it for public discussion. nine0003

What is FUMO

FUMO is one of the key expert bodies in the field of education under the Ministry of Education. The Association ensures that the curricula comply with the approved educational standards, prepares proposals for their change, and is also engaged in scientific and methodological support. After the approval of a particular FUMO program, as a rule, an order of the Ministry of Education on its approval follows.

FUMO did not receive a resolution with the opinion of experts criticizing the preschool program, its chairman Viktor Basyuk told Vedomosti, answering a question about why the program was unanimously adopted, despite the existing comments. Basyuk said that he had no doubts about the professionalism of the FUMO members, who positively assessed it, in addition, positive conclusions were also received from the profile RSPU named after. A. I. Herzen and Moscow Pedagogical State University. nine0003

The Chairman of FUMO explained that, for example, RAO had serious comments, they concerned the education program. “We considered all the comments, and after correcting them, we recommended it for approval. The revised version differs from the one posted on regulation.gov.ru. It can be seen already in the order signed by the Ministry of Education, it will not be submitted for discussion again.” He considered the claims of independent experts to be subjective: “Perhaps this is the private opinion of a group of people who are trying to defend their copyright interests.” nine0003

The Ministry of Education did not answer Vedomosti why the comments of external experts were not taken into account. In response to a request, they explained that the preschool FOOP “takes into account domestic traditions and modern practices of preschool education, contains a wide list of both modern and classical visual, musical, artistic and cinematic works of art.” “Programs will become more diverse, more interesting, more interactive and will take into account all age recommendations,” the agency said in a response. All FOOPs must be approved by January 1, 2023, and schools and kindergartens must bring their programs in line with them by September 1, the ministry adds. nine0003

FUMO’s decision carries “anthropological risks for Russia,” says Alexander Asmolov, head of the Department of Personality Psychology at Moscow State University. “This FOOP is the USE for schoolchildren. Rigid principles of school education will now be transferred to the world of preschool education, childhood. We risk being left in a country without inquisitive children,” he says. Asmolov is also sure that an excessive emphasis on patriotic education from childhood will lead to the rejection of these values ​​by the children themselves, their parents and teachers. FUMO adopted the preschool program formally, says Elfiya Dorofeeva, president of the Association for the Development of Quality in Preschool Education. nine0003
