FOR INFANTS & TODDLERS
Early Intervention Services
Our Early Intervention Services support children from 6 weeks to 3 years old who have developmental delays, medical needs, or diagnosed disabilities. The program blends seamlessly into our inclusive childcare environment, giving children a consistent, natural setting where therapies, routines, and play-based learning come together.
Upon enrollment, each child receives a comprehensive developmental assessment from our Therapeutic Intervention Program (TIP) team. This team collaborates to build a personalized plan targeting cognitive, physical, social, and communication milestones, ensuring your child gets the right support from day one.
Located in Chamblee and serving families across Metro Atlanta, our NAEYC-accredited program is a trusted option for parents seeking early, integrated, relationship-centered care.

OUR APPROACH
Inclusive Intervention That Meets Your Child Where They Are
Research and lived experience both tell us that early intervention can profoundly impact long-term outcomes. Our program provides support during the most critical years of brain development—helping infants and toddlers build strong foundations before preschool
Our approach combines:
- Play-based learning that supports natural developmental progress
- Individualized developmental goals created with the TIP team
- On-site therapy sessions (speech, occupational, and physical therapy) woven into daily routines
- Specialized nursing care for medically fragile infants
- A social services coordinator who helps families access resources
- Parent coaching
to support learning at home
Children gain confidence, communication skills, sensory regulation, and improved motor development—all while staying in a stable, inclusive peer setting.
WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL
Integrated Therapies and Small Ratios
Therapies delivered on-site
Therapists coordinate directly with teachers and work with your child during the day, eliminating the need for stressful travel and after-hours appointments.
Personalized developmental planning
Every child receives a formal assessment and goal plan created by therapists, teachers, and parents working together.
Small groups and calm spaces
Low student-to-teacher ratios ensure individualized care and safer, more predictable routines for infants and toddlers.
Specialized nursing support
Medically fragile infants can receive attentive care from trained staff familiar with complex needs.
Family-centered support
We help parents navigate resources like Babies Can’t Wait, Medicaid, and other developmental programs—so families feel supported, not overwhelmed.
Smooth transitions to other ECC programs
As children grow, they can seamlessly move into our preschool and other programs, maintaining consistency and trusted relationships.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my child needs early intervention?
If you have concerns about milestones, feeding, motor skills, communication, or behavior, our team can help you assess what’s going on and decide next steps.
What happens during the initial assessment?
Our TIP team completes a developmental screening across cognitive, physical, social, and communication areas. From there, we build a personalized goal plan for your child.
Do you provide therapy during the day?
Yes. Speech, occupational, and physical therapists can work with children on-site during program hours—making therapy part of the natural daily routine.
Do you help families access outside resources?
Absolutely. Our staff can guide you through Babies Can’t Wait, Medicaid, service coordination, and other supports.
How small are your groups?
Much smaller than typical childcare or early learning centers, allowing for calmer spaces and more individual attention.
Is this program inclusive?
Yes. Children of all abilities learn and play together in the same classroom, supported by teachers trained in inclusive early childhood practices.
What if I’m not sure whether my child qualifies?
You don’t need a diagnosis to reach out. We’re here to help you understand your options, including developmental screenings.
