Description: At Irene Wortham Center, children and adults with developmental disabilities are helped to reach their full potential. We provide the best support possible to our students as well as their families. Spend a little time learning about us. You'll be glad you did.
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.
