In the Education Department, we recognize the importance of the
earliest years as a time of rapid growth and development. We work to
facilitate development of skills in the areas of play, social,
self-help, speech and language, motor, and cognition, by providing
ample opportunities for growth and learning.
In our Early Intervention Programs, we recognize the importance of
the parent as the child's first teacher. Through our home-based
special education program, we are able to offer support to families
through home visits to help them acquire the skills to assist in
promoting their child's growth and development.
Children 18 months and older are eligible to attend our center-based
toddler program. Here children with and without special need are
taught alongside one another in a fun and enriching environment.
Integration of children with disabilities and their typical peers
continues in our pre-school program. In addition to our three
classes at the Johnson City site, we also operate "Special Classes
in Integrated Settings" at the Head Start in Endicott and the
Jewish community center in Binghamton. Here HCA
children are able to learn side by side with Head Start children.
In collaboration with the integrated pre-school classrooms, HCA
participates in a Universal Pre-K program available to
those children who will be of Kindergarten age the following school
year and reside in the Johnson City school district.
HCA operates 8 classrooms in 3 locations, Johnson City, Endicott,
and Vestal. Class hours are 8:30 AM - 11:30 AM and 1:00
PM - 4:00 PM.
