Easter Seals and Child Care

How parents define child care varies according to individual family need, but the need for affordable, quality child care is great and growing! Studies by the American Academy of Pediatrics have confirmed that a child’s brain structure is influenced significantly by their environment and experiences during the first few years of life.

Easter Seals Child Development Center Network is the largest provider of inclusive child care in the United States. With nearly 80 centers, Easter Seals serves 7,000 young children and their families, in a setting where children with disabilities and special needs comprise 25 percent of enrollment. Easter Seals Child Development Center Network assures that quality child care will be available to all children and their parents, regardless of ability. There are Easter Seals Child Development Centers in communities across the nation to help children of all abilities work toward developmental goals at the time in their lives when they are most ready to learn. Each of our over 80 centers strive to meet the highest level of state and national quality standards. Each Easter Seals facility offers ongoing training for staff; low adult to child ratios; developmentally appropriate learning activities; and top-quality facilities that meet or exceed industry standards. As a non-profit organization, Easter Seals provides its high-quality services at costs that are affordable to families in need.
