Child Life Center

Child Life Center

The Child Life Center is a NAEYC accredited, inclusive learning center that provides services to all children ages six weeks to six years, including those with special needs. The center is one of only two inclusive child care programs offered to the Evansville community that can accommodate children with multiple, complex physical and developmental disabilities.

As a leader in the field of child development and special education, the center offers comprehensive, developmentally appropriate programming in a warm, home-like setting.With a generous ratio of staff to children, our facility features eight classrooms, a large indoor activity room, and a special needs-accessible playground.Paths to Quality

It has been proven that children with special needs learn at a quicker rate when surrounded with typically developing classmates because it provides them with role models to learn from while encouraging them to follow and progress with their peers. Children are enrolled in the CLC without regard to race, religion, sex, special needs, or national origin.NAEYC Accredited

Respectful Infant Environment (RIE) Approach

Our well trained staff uses the RIE approach, which strives to free infants from restrictive equipment such as swings, high chairs and strollers. Infants are encouraged to move and discover their surroundings, which allows for more personal attention and exploration. This play-based method allows children to take the lead in their own learning process.

Dance Lessons

Child Life Center Kids on stage

Indiana Arts CommissionThanks to support from the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana, the Indiana Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as Wal-Mart, every child enrolled in the Child Life Center preschool program (ages 3-5) participates in a 30-minute dance/creative movement class each week during the school year. The lessons teach the children about coordination, rhythm, and movement.

The Child Life Center is an Indiana-licensed facility open Monday through Friday from 6:15 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. The Child Life Center’s rates are competitive with comparable facilities in the area. We offer full-time care for all children with the cost of care varying according to the child’s age.
