Early childhood is the most critical time for brain development.
The trauma of homelessness in a child can cause lifelong developmental, physical, and emotional damages. Our Early Childhood Development program focuses on trauma recovery, with research-based academic curriculum in safe, nurturing surroundings that stimulate brain development.
Over 200 children walk through the doors of our 50,000 sq. ft. facility each day. Our highly-qualified classroom teachers use a research-based curriculum that integrates instruction across developmental domains and early learning disciplines. The program serves children ages five weeks to five years, offering enrichment programs such as art, music and physical development.
Our Early Childhood Program is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), whose rigorous standards offer assurance of high-quality education. Vogel Alcove is a part of an elite 5% of childcare providers in the U.S. with this distinction.
