Our Inclusive Program (Regional Center)
Students may be scheduled for therapy during their day if the parent wishes. Treatment sessions can take place in the classroom, on the playground, or in a designated therapy room. The decision of the time and location of the therapy will be dependent on the child’s needs and where and when they will get the most benefit from therapy. Decisions regarding therapy times and location, as well as goals and plan of care, are discussed and made as a team and reviewed at Individual Educational Plan (IEP) or the Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP) meetings. Teachers may leave a note, send an email, call or speak with parents at drop off/pick up time to communicate therapy progress, concerns, or home program ideas. Parents are always welcomed and encouraged to attend therapy sessions (even if only once in a while) and we will make scheduling arrangements as necessary to accommodate parent schedules. The teacher staff will communicate with the preschool staff regarding suggestions for the classroom in order to enrich the developmental experience for each child.
Our teachers love, nurture, and educate children with and without special needs in inclusive classrooms. A team of experienced staff and teachers work cooperatively with therapists who provide physical, occupational, speech, and feeding therapies, for children to help build life skills needed to achieve success in all areas of their daily lives.

Is My Family Eligible?
In general, eligibility is based on family income at or below the poverty level. Families with other situations including homelessness, and children in foster care, or receiving SSI or TANF also are eligible.
It is very important to contact the Harvest Town Child Care Center to find out about requirements for enrolling your child. Due to limited government funding, there are not enough spaces for all eligible children. If there is not a space for you and your child at this time, ask the program to put your family on the waiting list.
