Day Care
KidStart is a state licensed provider of care for children with special needs and children without disabilities. Its day care center provides a safe, nurturing environment where children learn through play, with opportunities for physical, emotional, and social growth.

Early Intervention
It’s never too early for your child to engage in activities where they receive help from certified special education teachers and certified/licensed therapists. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to work together with staff to help a child achieve his or her full potential.

Evaluation Services
KidStart's state-approved evaluation center delivers a comprehensive appraisal and written analysis of a child's abilities and needs. The Evaluation team includes a coordinator, school psychologist, speech pathologist, physical and occupational therapists, special education teacher, and registered nurse.

Head Start Program
The Head Start program provides preschool children and their families with activities to assist in mental, social, emotional and physical growth. Eligibility is based on family income.

School Age Program
Education staff members in our School Age Program provide organized activities based on the age, needs and interests of the children. The daily routine includes opportunities for children to work individually or as part of a group. Children choose from a wide variety of available materials and activities. Staff members initiate activities appropriate to the age and developmental levels of the children.

KidStart's Preschool Program is a comprehensive program providing: screening and evaluation; special education; speech, occupational, and physical therapy; counseling; referrals to diagnostic clinics and other agencies as appropriate.
