Description: The mission of the Center for Developmental Disabilities of Pike County Ltd. is to provide early educational and therapeutic services for children with developmental delays. These services are for children from birth through kindergarten age. It is our goal to maximize your child’s potential. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity for growth and development in a setting that meets individual needs and concerns. We are committed to providing quality early education services to children in Pike County and in supporting children with developmental delays and their families. We are community advocates for the children we serve and we are committed to educating the community regarding the special needs of children in Pike County.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
