What We Do

Family-Centered, Individualized Services for Children with Special Needs
Here at The Childhood League Center, we believe that:

- It is the right of all individuals to be a part of their community.
- Every child is unique and has innate strengths, capabilities, and potential.
- Every child has a right to quality early childhood education.
- Learning is active. It requires love, support, and guidance. It is possible through exploration, experimentation, and meaningful connections.
- Families are essential to a child’s healthy development.

These beliefs drive everything we do. The Childhood League Center serves children with special needs, birth through age five. We also serve children without special needs and those at risk of not developing healthily to their full potential.

Children receive our early childhood education, interventions and therapies at the most critical time in their development – when windows and doors are wide open and long-term impacts can be made.

Almost 90% of brain development happens by the age of five

It works. We often hear our parents say, “I never thought my child would ___________” and then they do.

“She spoke her first words after sleeping in my lap while being rocked. When it was time to go home, I woke her up. She smiled and said “Mama – go.” She was hearing and visually impaired and had other developmental delays. We all rejoiced because she broke a barrier we weren’t sure she would cross.” ~ Sharon Peterson, Assisting Board XI
