EARLY CHILDHOOD SERVICES

Therese M. Hall Children's Center

What is our Goal?

Our goal is to provide early intervention services to children who have disabilities or are experiencing delays in development. The goal is to provide developmental activities to promote the attainment of developmental milestones so that each child may reach his/her maximum potential. The program provides therapeutic and educational intervention and offers support and guidance to families.

What services are provided?

  • The program consists of a home component for children under the age of two and a preschool program for those children over two years of age.
  • Our preschool offers an inclusive program that provides services to non-disabled children as well as those with disabilities. By integrating children with disabilities and without disabilities staff can focus on providing experiences based on a sound knowledge of normal growth and development.

Who is eligible?

  • Children from birth to three years of age who possess a disability or who are diagnosed as developmentally delayed as defined by the State Department of Developmental Services.
  • Be referred by a Regional Center or be eligible for an alternate source of funding.
  • Children without disabilities who range in age from two through five years of age.
  • Children with disabilities who are no longer eligible for Early Intervention Services as defined by the State Department of Developmental Services, but whose parents prefer to have them continue in an inclusive preschool program beyond their third birthday.
