Early Start

Early Start's "Mommy & Me" program is offered to the child with the parent (or primary caregiver) in two or three hour sessions for one to three days per week. The program offers exceptional early education along with parent education from warm, family-friendly centers with cheerful and inviting classrooms, gross motor rooms, and outdoor play yards and activity areas.

A typical "Mommy & Me" classroom day includes morning circle time; language enhancement activities; indoor gross motor play; snack time; centers for fine motor, art, sensory, music, and cognitive activities; outdoor play; lunch time; and good-bye circle time. Through these play and learning activities, as well as occupational, physical, and speech and language therapy, the Early Start staff guide children to develop fine motor, gross motor, self-help, cognitive, speech and language, and personal social skills.

Early Start includes a strong parent education and support program. Throughout each "Mommy & Me" session, parents are taught specific activities and techniques to foster their own child's growth and development. Bilingual services are available in Spanish and other languages.
