The Combined Home and Center Program

Transition Class: Children between 1 and 2 years of age are served in this class. They attend the center on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for three hours and receive one home visit per week. The emphasis during the center time is on a gradual change from home-based, one-on-one services to working in a small group setting.

Toddler Class: Children from 2 to 3 years are served in this class.  These children attend on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for 3 hours and receive biweekly home visits.  The emphasis in this class is on gradually preparing children for the demands of the preschool environment.
