Easter Seals Child Development Center

Children are our first priority at Easter Seals West Kentucky Child Development Center. Choosing child care comes down to one thing: doing what is best for a child. Easter Seals West Kentucky’s Child Development Center helps children of all abilities develop to their potential by encouraging growth – at each child’s pace.

Quality Child Care for Children of All Abilities

How parents define child “care” varies according to individual family need. But the need for affordable, quality child care is great, and growing. According to the Children’s Defense Fund:

• More that 12 million children under the age of 6 years are in some form of child care.
• More than 65 percent of mothers with children in this age range are in the US labor force.
• More than 79 percent of mothers with children between the ages of 6-13 are in the US labor force.
• More than 55 percent of all US mothers bring home half or more of their household income.

American Academy of Pediatrics studies on early child development have proven that a child’s brain structure is influenced significantly by environment and experiences during the first few years of life. More than 50 Easter Seals Child Development Centers in communities across the nation help children of all abilities work toward developmental goals at the time in their lives when they are most ready to learn.

Easter Seals West Kentucky Child Development Center meets the accreditation guidelines set by STARS for KIDS NOW. STARS for KIDS NOW provides parents with a tool to help identify levels of quality when seeking a childcare setting outside of their home. Childcare centers and family childcare homes participating in STARS for KIDS NOW demonstrate a commitment toward providing quality care and education. Parents can use the rating system to gain an understanding of the factors that contribute to quality care and education, and can choose a child care setting that best matches their family’s needs
