Nurturing Growth and Potential in Every Child

Introducing…Singer Early Childhood Learning Center’s Transitions Program

At the Susan & Saul Singer Early Childhood Learning Center we understand that every child deserves a nurturing and supportive learning environment tailored to their individual needs. That's why we're thrilled to introduce our Transitions Program, designed for children who may benefit from additional support.  Early identification and intervention are essential for young children who are exhibiting developmental delays or not yet meeting age-appropriate milestones. The Transitions Program offers an environment of inclusion and respect for diversity of skills.

We have two options in our Transitions Program:

1. For two and three year old children (T2/3)
2. For four and five year old children (TPK)

Why is the Transition Program the right place for my child?
