Latham Child Development Center is committed to growth and continued learning for children ages 6 weeks-4 years old. Center-wide units and concepts are taught in all classrooms.
In addition, teachers have been trained to evaluate developmental milestones unique to each age group.
Teachers observe changes as each child grows in the different skill areas: communication, motor, adaptive behavior, cognitive, and social emotional skills. Small class sizes ensure each child is known.
Enrichment classes include music, art, science, motor skills, and library for ages two to four in preschool and daycare.
