In accepting families to our program, we ask only one thing of them: They must be committed to making changes in their lives.

An Inside Look At Our Early Education Child Care Center

If you’ve ever wondered what our "little patriots” are up to at our Child Care and Early Education Center, the answer is "A LOT!”

A beehive of activity here on the National Home campus, our Child Care and Early Education Center provides age-specific developmental and educational programs and activities for infants, toddlers and preschoolers alike.

Infants benefit from socialization, communication, color awareness and motor skill development, as well as a set schedule for feeding, sleeping, and diapering.

Toddlers benefit from potty-training (when ready), daily outdoor play, and set meal and nap times. Their developmental activities focus on interactive social skills, physical coordination and fine motor skills. They also start learning to read, listen to stories, identify pictures and prepare for preschool.
