Community Resources
KKCC welcomes families from Prince George’s, Anne Arundel, Howard, and Montgomery counties. The guides below provide information about community services, support groups, and advocacy organizations available to support parents, students, and staff based on their county of residence.
Specialized Child Care Services
Special needs may include physical, emotional, behavioral, or learning disabilities or impairments that require additional services, accommodations, or specialized educational settings.
Children with special needs and learning disabilities have the same opportunity for enrollment as their same-age peers. KKCC will support their participation and progress in the general education curriculum to the appropriate extent, with reasonable accommodations. Parents are encouraged to inform staff of any special needs their child may have and provide an EIP or IFSP, if available.
Our goal is to work collaboratively with families to provide the best possible care and support for each child. When appropriate, KKCC may recommend community resources and services, such as Maryland’s Infants and Toddlers Program, Child Find, the Prince George’s County Children’s Resource Center, Project WIN, or family counseling. We will work with families and referral agencies to help ensure each child receives appropriate support and services.
Project WIN is an early childhood mental health program that supports the social and emotional needs of children from birth to five years old in family childcare, childcare centers, and informal childcare settings throughout Prince George’s County.
The program promotes positive social-emotional development, an important foundation for school readiness, and works with parents and childcare providers to address behavioral or emotional concerns that could otherwise result in a child’s removal from care.
The Maryland Infants and Toddlers Program (MITP) provides a family-centered system of early intervention services for young children with developmental delays or disabilities and their families.
By recognizing each family’s concerns and priorities and focusing on each child’s strengths and needs, MITP supports families of children with special needs during the first four years of the child’s development.
