Family Developmental Center offers a developmental childcare and school-readiness program for infants and toddlers (2 weeks to 3 years, 8 months) and their families. This multicultural, developmental and educational childcare program provides a nurturing, developmentally challenging, and inclusive environment for very young children of low income, at-risk families, including those involving violence, abuse, teen parents, the involvement of Child Protective Services, or the criminal justice system. Infants from CPS referrals and teen parents in CalSafe are a priority.
FDC also offers a mainstreaming model for medically fragile and developmentally delayed infants and toddlers. Blending clinical and educational components for both the children and their families, the program provides assessment, Individual Education Plans, and a play-based curriculum. Additionally, FDC offers family support, parent education, speech therapy, occupational and physical therapy, psychological therapy for children and families, and an on-site Nurse. All of FDC’s teaching staff hold early Childhood Education credentials.
As components of its program, FDC also encompasses the Child Care Food Program, the Developmental Education for Parents Program, the Golden Gate Regional Primary Therapeutic Day Program, the Molera Medically Fragile Infant/Toddler Program, the Sanguinetti Special-Needs Therapy Program, and the State Department of Education General Child Development Program.
Services are provided at no charge or on a sliding scale.
