Opening of the C-A-R Milestones Preschool Integrates Children With and Without Disabilities
The Community Association for Rehabilitation, Inc. (C - A - R) recently opened the C-A-R Milestones Preschool at 3864 Middlefield Road in Palo Alto. The Preschool, for children age 2-5, is unique in that it integrates children with and without disabilities. This fully integrated program is also a first for C-A-R which has seven other programs that serve people with developmental and other disabilities. Another unique quality of the Preschool is that C-A-R has on-staff professional physical, speech and occupational therapists who are available to provide services to the preschoolers on an as-needed basis.
Several parents of normally developing children chose CAR's preschool because they expect that interaction and relationships with children with disabilities will be a valuable learning experience. They also value the access their children will have to CAR's physical, speech and occupational therapists who are trained to spot developmental delays in children.
For more information, visit http://www.c-a-r.org/preschool.html or call 650-618-3325.
