Is a state accredited program. The Center
provides a wondrous environment where blind and visually impaired
children learn and play together with sighted peers. Children,
6 months to 6 years of age, benefit from this reverse mainstream
setting helping them to adapt to the sighted world, both socially
and academically. The educational environment stimulates children's
natural desire to learn, stresses their independence and helps
them reach their full potential. Preschoolers' social skills
and knowledge blossom through a curriculum which includes: weekly
field trips, orientation & mobility, music, computer skills,
fine and gross motor skills, speech and language, pre-Braille and pre-academic activities.
The vast majority of the Center's graduates have mastered the
skills needed for successful mainstreaming into public school
Kindergarten.
