Mission: Meeting the developmental, educational, and health needs of young children of all abilities. Our values at learning together are what we live by, how we operate, and what we believe in and guide our programs and services: inclusion, diversity, integrity, quality, interdependency and innovation. Learning together's vision is to create a community of promise - where children of all abilities are able to reach their full potential with the support of their community and families. We are committed to "changing the classroom today to change the workplace tomorrow".
Programs: The developmental day center provides an inclusive center-based program for children 18 months to six years of age with, or at risk for, developmental disabilities and for children who are typically developing. In cy 2017, we served 100 children. In cy 2017, 82% of all children demonstrated expected levels of cognitive, language and developmental skills. In fall 2017, 96% of our "graduating" children with a disability entered kindergarten on the standard course of study.
the child mental health initiative provides in school and home based services to children ages birth to five years who have demonstrated serious social, emotional, behavioral, and/or mental health concerns that jeopardize their child care, family life, and future growth and development. During cy 17 we supported more than 100 children through our classroom intervention, 28 teaching staff and 20 individual families. On average 71% improved emotional/mental well-being and functioning and 71% of the families had improved interactions with their children and reported reduced stress.
