Subject: [ROP-support] Full-Time Preschool for Children Who Are Blind Opens
in Louisville



The first full-time preschool for the blind in Kentucky has opened in
Louisville. The Visually Impaired Preschool Services, or VIPS, had its
first day
of school Monday.

The school has multiple classrooms and rooms specific for sensory
exploration. Students spent the morning getting to know their teachers and
new school.
Parents say the $3.2 million school will help blind children learn at a
faster speed.

Parent Brandi Hitzelberger says, "They're learning how to use their vision
to the best of their ability now instead of later, and I just feel like it's
an opportunity that you can't pass up."

Nearly one dozen blind and visually-impaired children are enrolled in the
VIPS preschool class.
