Our Vision
The Children's Center's vision is a world where communities, families and caregivers join together to create nurturing environments in which children of all abilities are embraced as unique and valued individuals.
Our Mission
The Children’s Center, as a nonprofit organization, provides quality, family-focused services for children; specializes in meeting the developmental needs of children with special needs by offering programs which encourage individual growth and development of children; provides support for their families; and promotes inclusion of all children in the community.
Our Philosophy
We believe that children are unique individuals who learn best through creative play. We believe that children thrive when given the opportunity to develop social, emotional, and physical skills within an environment that provides peer interactions, nurturing adults, and developmentally appropriate materials. We believe that families are entitled to help and support in identifying their options and resources in accordance with their lifestyles and personal values. We believe that families, professional staff, and the community can work together to support children as they grow.
