CHILDREN'S SERVICES

Our Education Philosophy

ALL children can learn…

…and their earliest years yield the most rapid growth and development. Therefore, collaboration between home and school as well as integrated classrooms are valued components of any child’s educational experience. At HCA, our role is to help facilitate every student’s play, self-help, language, motor, and cognitive development through age-appropriate activities.

Preschool Programs

All preschool programs at HCA nurture and teach children with special needs alongside their typically developing peers, offering an enriching and diverse environment for each student.
