Member schools receive annual professional development trainings, on-demand consultation with our team of child development experts, access to SDC's content and resources, and a customized report highlighting strengths and offering recommendations to support your teaching teams and enhance your preschool environments.

SDC partners with early childhood education centers to enhance their integration of social-emotional learning, speech and language development skills, and sensory and motor development skills into their program, curriculum, and overall classroom. 

We focus on supporting individual children for whom the school aims to create a more inclusive environment. Our recommendations not only address the specific child's needs but also enhance inclusivity for all current and future students

Our pediatric occupational therapist will visit your site to collaborate with you in designing, redesigning, or rearranging your classroom environment to support the developmental needs of the children who use it. The classroom itself is often considered 'the third teacher,' which is why creating an inclusive, developmentally appropriate space is so essential for growth and learning."

Our team of child development experts offers Professional Development trainings for SDC Members and a-la-carte. Our trainings are conducted by our Mental Health Clinician, our Pediatric OT and our Pediatric SLP, we have a long list of topics we cover and are open to personalized requests. 

We do presentations and facilitate learning opportunities for the community. This may be for the caregivers of the children attending preschool or anyone in the community that is interested in topics related to child-development.  

We offer screenings for children age 3-5 in the preschool setting. Our pediatric occupational therapist, pediatric speech-language pathologist, and mental health clinician will observe small groups of children.

Check out our video library of professional development trainings. We have dozens of amazing trainings available, presented by occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and mental health clinicians.
