The Carl and Norma Miller Children's Center at FCC

The Carl and Norma Miller Childrens Center at Frederick Community College provides an enhanced child-centered learning program where children feel nurtured, secure, and relaxed. Parents can be confident and trusting of the care their children receive as we develop relationships that enhance the quality of life for each child.

The Childrens Center is staffed with professional early childhood educators who partner with families to provide optimal care for each child. Child care grants, to offset tuition costs, are available to qualified students through the Financial Aid Office(301.846.2620).

Special Needs:

The Children?s Center accepts children with special needs. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, we try to accommodate as much as possible those children who can be served in a group setting. There are some children with special needs that require more one-on-one care than we are able to provide in our group setting. In this situation, the Center may not be the best educational setting to provide for the needs of the individual child. When a child with special needs is enrolled an IEP (Individual Education Plan) or IFSP (Individual Family Service Plan) is required. These documents provide the staff with specific skills and areas of development that are a focus for the child and or family. If the child receives special services the Center staff will make arrangements to accommodate the therapists. The Teacher and Director will meet with families on an ongoing basis to ensure that the Center can continue to meet the changing needs of the child. The Children?s Center will require written parental consent to work with outside agencies.
