The KidsCentric Approach

The child comes first. The team works together.

A child is more than a diagnosis, service, or set of goals.

KidsCentric takes a holistic approach to special education. Our educators and clinicians work closely with families, classroom teams, and other providers to understand the whole child, build on existing strengths, and support meaningful development.

Every service is shaped by the child’s Individualized Education Program and delivered in the most natural, inclusive environment possible.

Child-centered

Every plan begins with the individual child.

Collaborative

Families, educators, and clinicians work toward shared goals.

Strengths-based

We build on what each child can already do.

Progress-focused

Support is designed to help children participate more independently and confidently.

Guidance for Families

Two paths. One clearer next step.

The evaluation process and the provider-enrollment process are related, but they are not the same. Start with the pathway that reflects where your family is today.

Path 1

Evaluation and the IEP

For families who are still learning what services may be appropriate.

  1. 1

    Evaluation

    Your child is evaluated to understand strengths, developmental needs, and eligibility for preschool special education.

  2. 2

    Eligibility

    The evaluation team determines whether preschool special education services are appropriate.

  3. 3

    The IEP

    If services are recommended, an Individualized Education Program outlines approved goals and support.

Path 2

Choosing a provider and starting services

For families who already have an IEP or referral and need the next step.

  1. 1

    Review the recommendation

    The family reviews the approved services, placement options, and practical considerations such as location.

  2. 2

    Connect with KidsCentric

    Our team reviews the referral, answers questions, and determines the appropriate service or program pathway.

  3. 3

    Services and progress

    Educators and clinicians begin support, communicate with the team, and monitor progress toward IEP goals.

Support where children learn and participate
