How do I get started?
The best way to get started with the Child Development Center is to contact us and make a referral. Anybody can make a referral – parent, caregiver, child care worker, teacher, family friend – with permission from the child’s parent or legal guardian.
A referral is just a simple way for us to gather basic information such as your child’s name, age, medical provider, and any concerns.
After the referral, we can explore your questions, schedule an evaluation, or begin working with your family.
