Paso del Norte Children’s Inclusive Early Learning Center (PdN) provides child care for children with disabilities as well as their peers without disabilities. PdN was created to provide quality childcare for children in an inclusive environment. They are rated at four stars and are a Texas Rising Star Vendor with Child Care Services (CCS).
The staff at PdN Children’s Inclusive Early Learning Center uses their specific experience and training to work with the children and their families. They have created a setting in which each person is valued and their strengths are recognized and used. They understand that every child learns differently. Through play, children learn about different ideas, cultures and people. The center uses an intergenerational approach in a culturally diverse environment.
PdN provides day care for children from six weeks to 12 years of age on a part- or full-time basis. Activities include art, math, science, music and movement. Other activities include early reading, dramatic play and language arts, to name a few. Children learn to trust their own feelings about what they learn, hear, see and do. This helps them to begin sharing their experiences with peers.
PdN Children’s Inclusive Early Learning Center also offers respite events for Parents. It occurs once a month on a Saturday morning. It allows parents of children with disabilities to have some free time. They are able to drop their children off for three hours and it’s free of charge. They also offer before- and after-school care.
For more information, call the staff at 915-544-8484. Their offices are located at 1101 E. Schuster Avenue in El Paso. For more resources in this area, check out our Find Services, Groups and Events on this website.
Despite doubt from others, a parent’s careful attention to her son’s verbal and nonverbal cues highlights the importance of listening to children with disabilities and advocating for their needs.
