What does SDC offer?
We offer a variety of services and partnership opportunities, and our list is growing!Â

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 Membership

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.
Assessment & Evaluation

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
Making Classrooms Inclusive

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."
Classroom Environment Design Consultation
