Celebrating over 25 years of supporting inclusion in early childhood!

We envision a world where meeting the needs of every child is a natural part of everyday life.

OUR MISSION is to share knowledge, foster skills, and encourage attitudes that promote inclusion as a core component of excellence in early childhood. To accomplish this mission, we:
+ strive to expand child care options for children with disabilities and their families
+ provide training and technical assistance for child care providers and other early childhood professionals (including specialists in early intervention and special education)
+ seek to improve the quality of the child care experience for all children
