Discrimination Policy:
Our Centers do not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity, or handicap condition.
Children with a handicap condition will only be accepted if care accommodations can be met and maintained. However, if a child’s handicap condition requires special therapy and care needed by a trained specialist, we cannot accept them due to not being able to meet their daily care and safety needs.
