The Child Development Program follows an inclusive model. We provide child development for children with and without disabilities in the same program, recognizing each child as a unique individual. Children of all abilities play side by side, learning valuable lessons from each other.
We believe that through inclusive environments, children are given opportunities to reach their highest potential, while developing positive attitudes toward all types of people.
Our program uses Creative Curriculum, a nationally recognized curriculum that supports individualized and developmentally appropriate learning.
Our stimulating programs are broken into the following age ranges:
Infants:
6 weeks to 12 months
A warm, nurturing environment where babies can develop at their individual pace on their own schedule.
Waddlers:
12 to 20 months
A transitional program that allows infants to master walking and adapt to a larger social group.

Children are supported in experimenting and practicing their new social, language and motor skills in a stimulating and safe environment.
