Program Goal

Through early identification, minimizes developmental delays and prepares children for school.

The CDC is a licensed and accredited early care and education center that offers a unique environment where young children of all abilities learn together. Our collaborative development center includes early intervention and education, active learning and nurturing relationships.

Half of the CDC’s children have a diagnosed disability; the rest of the students are “developing typically.” The program helps each child maximize their gifts and unique abilities to prepare them for kindergarten.

Diversity is valued and celebrated. Children learn from peers in this rich environment and develop a strong sense of acceptance and understanding of differences. Children from a variety of socio-economic, ethnic and cultural backgrounds and with varying abilities attend UCP Heartland Child Development Center.

Our Autism Services Program, based on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles, will provide high quality therapy using evidenced-based practices in a setting where the environment becomes a learning tool. We will use a hybrid approach as the therapy will take place in our center or the child’s natural setting such as, home, school, day care/preschool, etc. Our Autism Services Program is comprehensive in approach and will access all aspects of your child’s development.
