Children's Program
Easterseals child care program, for children 6 weeks to 5 years old, implements developmentally appropriate practices & activities daily. The therapeutic program follows a curriculum based on learning through play and child-directed creative experiences. Within a month of a participant’s enrollment, an assessment is conducted and goals are developed. Our teachers work on these goals through daily activities in the classroom, playground and cafeteria. These skills are fostered through daily repetition of activities targeting fine motor, gross motor, adaptive skills, cognitive and social/communication skills.
