What to expect in the Early Childhood program: Therapy is designed to strengthen the parent-child relationship while supporting the child's functioning across all areas of development.

Families bring their culture, life experiences, and knowledge of caring for the child as they partner with a therapist to understand their child’s needs better. Families learn to play together, build trust, and establish the adult as a supportive resource for the child’s worries and struggles as they learn and grow.
