FOR AGES 6 WEEKS - 4 YEARS
Inclusive Child Development
Our Inclusive Child Development program provides early care and education for children ages 6 weeks to 4 years in Chamblee, offering a safe, loving environment where children with developmental delays or disabilities learn alongside typically developing peers. With very low child-to-teacher ratios and a deeply individualized approach, every child receives the attention and support they need to grow with confidence.

OUR APPROACH
Play-Based, Inclusive Learning
Our early childhood classrooms use a play-based curriculum tailored to each child’s developmental stage and learning style. Therapists (speech, OT, PT) can work on-site during the school day, allowing developmental goals to be woven into everyday routines.
Inclusive classrooms help children:
- Build social and communication skills
- Practice sensory exploration and fine/gross motor skills
- Learn empathy, patience, and acceptance
- Grow through natural interactions with a diverse group of peers
WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL
A Small, Safe Environment Where Individual Needs Come First
Very small class sizes
We intentionally keep enrollment around 40 children total, so classrooms stay calm, transitions are smoother, and every child gets meaningful attention.
Low child-to-teacher ratios
Children receive targeted support and more one-on-one moments throughout the day.
NAEYC accreditation
Recognized since 1999 for meeting the highest national standards in early childhood education.
Integrated therapies
Speech, occupational, and physical therapists can collaborate directly with classroom staff — an enormous benefit for children needing consistent developmental support.
Family-centered structure
Parents choose their child’s therapists, participate in regular communication, and engage in progress updates and conferences as needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept infants and young toddlers?
Yes - we care for children starting at six weeks old through preschool age. Our experienced teachers create age appropriate activities and routines for each classroom.
Do you offer financial aid or scholarships?
Yes — scholarships are available to ensure cost never prevents a child from accessing high-quality, inclusive care.
How do I know if this program is the right fit?
We encourage every family to visit, meet teachers, and tour the classrooms. Our team will walk you through the environment and answer any questions about your child’s needs.
What does “inclusive child development” mean?
It means children of all abilities learn, play, and grow together in the same classroom. Instead of separating children by diagnosis or need level, we create a supportive environment where every child can participate at their own pace. Teachers adapt activities, routines, and learning goals so each child feels successful—while peers learn empathy, patience, and acceptance through everyday interactions.
