Liggett Trail Education Center

Liggett Trail is home to several BSSD programs.

• The Early Childhood Special Education Preschool Program is designed for children aged 3-5 (until they are age eligible for kindergarten), who qualify based upon an identification process and show significant developmental delays.
• The Multi-Disabled Program is home for students with several handicaps, who need more care than our elementary, middle or high schools can provide.
• We also provide related services.  Children who qualify may receive related services such as: speech and language services at LTEC.
• Cub Care is a MO licensed and accredited preschool that has been a part of BSSD since 2003.

Students who are living in the Blue Springs School district:

• Aged 3 to 5 for Early Childhood Special Education, who qualify based upon screening and evaluation may receive services through LTEC.
• Ages 6 to 21 for Multi Disabled (multiple disabilities/medically fragile students), who qualify based on evaluation may receive services through LTEC.

If your child is 3 or 4 years old and you have concerns about their development please call us at 816-874-3490 to schedule a screening with one of our Parent Educators.

All children must qualify in order to receive Special Education Services at Liggett Trail.

Cub Care Learning Center is a MO Licensed and Accredited preschool that has been a Blue Springs School District program since 2003.

We believe a child's development benefits most in a comprehensive, interdisciplinary program in which staff and family work closely together.

We strive to provide a quality, loving, active learning environment for children which enables them to develop and progress in their social, physical, literacy, and cognitive development.

Children ages 6 weeks to 5 years old who live in the Blue Springs School District attendance area can attend.  Limited spots are available.

• Cub Care Waitlist

Head Start programs support children's growth from birth to age 5 through services centered around early learning and development, health, and family well-being. Head Start staff actively engage parents, recognizing family participation throughout the program as key to strong child outcomes.

Here at Cub Care, we serve both Early Head Start and Head Start families. In Early Head Start, we work with children 6 weeks to 3 years and foster continuity of care to support family growth and community engagement. Our Head Start Program serves ages 3-5 years that provides quality education and social emotional support to prepare children for success.

Head Start services are available at no cost to children ages birth to 5 for eligible families. Families must apply for this grant through Mid America Regional Counsel (MARC). Once the application is completed, qualifying families are automatically added to the Cub Care waitlist if they choose our center.
