About the Center for Inclusive Child Care

The Center for Inclusive Child Care has spent over 20 years supporting quality child care for all young children.
We believe all children, especially those with special health needs, those at risk of developmental delays, those at risk of being expelled, or with a diagnosed special need, should have opportunities for safe, healthy, high quality, and inclusive learning environments.
We envision a society in which all children have opportunities for successful inclusion in community settings and parents and professionals have access to resources that support each child’s optimal development.
The Center for Inclusive Child Care provides free relationship-based coaching including support, training, modeling, and resources to child care programs throughout Minnesota.
Our coaches guide and support using the lens of healthy social-emotional development and accessibility for all. We believe that relationships with caring adults and peers create an accommodating environment, incorporating each child’s unique skills and abilities, which builds a foundation of lifelong success. Our team carries in hope, providing a listening ear and supportive partner in the care and education of young children.
