We believe each child is a unique individual with his/her own experiences and needs. For a child to be able to take the steps needed for optimum development, he/she must feel safe, accepted, and competent in a nurturing, encouraging, supportive and challenging environment. ACHR’s staff strive to provide that kind of environment for each child.
Children who feel safe, secure, and supported at both the center and at home develop skills more quickly. Therefore, ACHR staff also work with interested families.
