OUR STANCE ON RACISM
Fighting against racism is not a progressive versus conservative thing. It’s a right versus wrong thing. We have a moral duty to speak up, to stand with our black and brown friends, neighbors and colleagues, to push back against racism in our midst. When we hear racist talk, see racist action, or experience racist systems - we must take a stand. It’s easy to feel hopeless in the face of such complexity, but we must move past platitudes and be part of solutions. Read our full message to staff.

We provide specialized services and support to children from age birth through 5 who are experiencing developmental disabilities or delays.
From birth to age 3, our Early Intervention program provides services and supports to children at home or in other caregiving settings. Our educators use a parent-coaching model, which empowers parents to become more confident and competent caregivers. From age 3-5, our Early Childhood Special Education programs provide specialized instruction and services such as physical, occupational, speech and/or language therapy. These services are often provided at community preschools, child care facilities or other designated sites. Learn about our birth through age 5 services >> |
