A Child Care Provider's Role in Early Intervention

Being a child care provider can be especially challenging when you are providing care to a child with, or at risk for, developmental delays. Early intervention in Centre County is a collection of services and supports designed to help families enhance their child's development. Early intervention builds upon the natural learning occurring in those first few years. It is a process that promotes collaboration among parents, childcare providers, early intervention providers, and others who are involved with the child.
