Swenson Early Childhood Education Center is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Osawatomie school district, located in Osawatomie, KS with about 167 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to Kindergarten. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.

A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
