What We Believe

Every Child is Capable of Reaching Their Potential

For more than 50 years the Center for Developmental Disabilities of Pike County, Ltd. has provided educational, therapeutic, behavioral and family support services for children with developmental delays and disabilities from birth through Kindergarten age. Our grass roots response began with one woman, a nurse who visited families and helped them access information and services. This support was informal and often based on word of mouth from family to family.
Over the years, CDD has evolved into a multi-disciplinary program which currently provides services to over 200 families in Pike County. The Center for Developmental Disabilities offers licensed, professional services. We offer a quality pre-kindergarten program that follows the Pennsylvania Department of Education standards and curriculum guidelines. Our classroom teachers are certified and licensed. Our family support staff is experienced in working with complex family issues and successful in supporting families in need. Our classrooms maintain a high staff to child ratio which ensures our ability to meet individual needs of the children we serve. We do not expel any child from our program for behavioral challenges. We remain committed to serving children and families in need and to helping all children reach their potential. CDD is a licensed STARS 4 Early Learning Center in Pike County.
We believe each child is capable for learning, growing, and developing. We believe each child and family is unique regarding its priorities, needs, culture, values and lifestyles. We believe each family has the right to make choices regarding the supports and they receive.
