Overview

Mission

Schreiber center for pediatric development (schreiber) is a non-profit pediatric facility that provides family-centered education and therapy for infants, children, and adolescents with disabilities, developmental delays, and acquired injuries. We strive to maximize each child's ability to function independently and thrive within their community.

What it reported doing in 2024

S.t.a.r.s. Preschool is open to all children in the community. It is one of just a few preschools based on 'reverse mainstreaming', a term referring to expanding the program to include both children with special needs and typically developing children. By playing together, children learn to understand, accept and value diversity. Children are offered a year-round program that helps them reach their educational and developmental milestones. In the year ended june 30, 2025, our preschool program brought together 10 children with developmental delays or disabilities with 29 typically developing peers.the circle of friends academy is a keystone stars 4 designated child care program that offers a safe, stimulating, and inclusive learning environment for children from infancy through school age. Infant, toddler and preschool classrooms nurture each child's social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. In the past year, we provided early care and education to 7 infants (age 0-12 mos.), 10 toddlers (age 1-3 years), and 25 preschoolers (age 3-5 years).
