Our mission is to educate and care for children with special needs and medical conditions alongside their typically developing peers in inclusive environments and support their families.

We offer a center-based program:
The child development center provides early intervention and educational services for children with disabilities, who have developmental delays, who are
 medically fragile or who are typically developing.

We also offer a community outreach program and Ayudando Niños (Helping Children) Program:
First Steps reaches out into the community by supporting families and providing learning opportunities for their child with a disability within the activities, routines and events of everyday life.

We offer Therapy Programs:
Our outpatient Therapy program offers speech-language, physical, occupational, feeding, and aquatic therapies to children with developmental delays and special needs aged birth to 12 years old.
