Parents as Partners
Teachers communicate daily with parents so that the child’s successes or concerns are addressed in a timely manner.
Parents are welcome at all times and invited to fully participate in program activities. Parents are encouraged to participate in their child’s individual program development, goal setting and evaluation.

Shared Site Intergenerational Program
Intergenerational programming is a natural fit at Easter Seals since the Child Developmental Center and the Adult Day Program share the same site.
The program uses the power of art, music, dance, literature, and drama to achieve a variety of therapeutic objectives that are beneficial to both children and the elderly. The Intergenerational Program has become an important component of how Easter Seals works with its children and seniors. |
