Every child deserves the chance to thrive.
At PennCares, we believe all children benefit from stimulating activities, caring relationships, and opportunities to grow and learn in a supportive environment.
If you have concerns about your infant or toddler’s progress toward developmental milestones, PennCares can help through our Early Intervention Services. Our specialized team provides therapies and supports to help each child reach their full potential.
Our Children’s Programs also include inclusive child development and preschool groups that welcome children of all abilities. These programs offer opportunities for socialization, learning, and play—helping every child build confidence and important life skills.
Our experienced teachers and therapists bring years of expertise in supporting children with and without disabilities. We take a family-centered approach, working closely with parents and caregivers to plan and deliver services tailored to your child’s needs. We listen with care, respond with understanding, and partner with you every step of the way.
Our Services
PennCares Early Intervention
Services for children from birth to three years of age who are evaluated and determined to have a 25% delay in any developmental area
In infancy, all developmental areas are closely connected and influence each other’s progress.
Quality early intervention services during this important formative period can make a crucial difference in your child’s development now and in later years!
Our therapies focus on teaching parents activities and methods to enhance and improve their child’s developmental skills.
- Physical therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Speech therapy
- Developmental teaching by special instructors
- Infant massage
All services are provided in settings in which you and your child ordinarily participate and that are most comfortable and convenient for you: your home, child care or community setting.
PennCares Child Development Group
A unique community-integrated group of children with special needs and typically developing children between 18 months and 4 years of age
Our child development group promotes belonging, participation, and engagement of young children with and without disabilities together, in inclusive settings.
Individualized accommodations and supports allow children with disabilities to participate fully in play and learning activities with typically-developing peers. At PennCares, we believe inclusion means “a part” – not “apart!”
PennCares Child Development Group classes are held at our office in Hanover, PA.
PennCares Preschool
Integrated preschools that allow young children with and without disabilities to play, develop, and learn together while promoting a sense of belonging for every child
PennCares preschools enable children with a range of functional abilities to participate in activities and experiences in inclusive settings.
They ensure that every young child has access to quality learning environments, to typical educational routines and activities, and to the general preschool education curriculum.
