Colors and curves, tot-sized sinks, touchable-washable wall art and a therapist happily greeting a two-year-old coming through the doors to play are among the ways Joya Child and Family Development expresses joy and welcome to children.
"For children with developmental delays and disabilities from birth to age three, play is more than fun. Play is how they learn and grow, stimulating brain development and building age-level skills," said Colleen Fuchs, executive director.
"Our approach is play-based," she explained. "Children learn best when we capitalize on their enthusiasm and interest. Play is their work. For staff, play is intentional." . . . . . . . . .
