Mission:
Northland Early Education Center provides quality
education and therapy services to children with special
needs and children who are typically developing, from
birth to five years of age, in order to help them reach
their full potential.
Philosophy:
 |
- All children belong.
- All children are treated with respect and as unique
individuals.
- All children have special needs and special strengths
and in an appropriate environment learn from each other as
well as from the teaching staff.
- A qualified staff and nurturing environment are critical
to a child’s development.
- In order to meet the needs of the children, we must also
meet the needs of their families.
- Children learn alongside their chronologically aged
peers.
- “All children can learn.”

dedicated staff and board members, improved financial condition,
a qualified and cross-trained staff, state-of-the-art equipment
and facility, a cutting-edge education and speech, physical and
occupational therapy services.
