The Child Development Center in Washington, DC has been serving families in the community since 1959. This inclusive early care and education center is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and provides exceptional services for children with and without disabilities and their families in the Columbia Heights community.
Our inclusion model creates an environment in which each child is able to receive the individual support they need in the same classroom as their typically developing peers. The center also can assist parents in early identification and intervention to address developmental concerns during the critical first five years of life in order to provide the most effective care and most positive outcomes possible for each child.
