CHILD & FAMILY DEVELOPMENT CENTERS

CAP operates two child and family development centers, which provide center-based and home-based programs for children from infancy to five years old. CAP offers opportunities for young children to reach their highest developmental potential by providing cognitive, physical, spiritual, and emotional support. We work to provide a range of services to ensure each individual child’s success. We also provide parents with the resources they need to help their child grow and learn these skills.

In a region with relatively few high-quality child development centers, our child and family development centers create a place for local children that is safe and educational. Both centers are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children and are among the highest-rated centers in Kentucky’s early childhood rating system, the “All STARS” program.

IN-HOME EDUCATION

Our infant/toddler home visitation program is an early intervention approach that serves children from birth to three years of age. The home visitor provides age-appropriate developmental activities, parent education and support, and ideas for turning the home into a learning environment.

CAP also provides a home-based, early intervention program to serve infants and children with defined disabilities, developmental delays, or who are considered at-risk for delays. With the philosophy that “the parent is the child’s best teacher,” staff focus on providing parents the resources needed to actively engage their child in activities to help develop their social, cognitive, sensory, and motor skills.

IN-SCHOOL SUPPORT

During the school year, CAP offers programming in local schools covering topics such as anger management, conflict resolution, bullying, and character development. CAP staff also serve as classroom assistants and aides throughout the school year at partner schools.

AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMMING

CAP offers after-school programming for older students and teens, providing homework assistance, college tours, and educational field trips. Staff also partner with local schools to provide after-school tutoring in a variety of subjects and serve as mentors to students.

LEADERSHIP TRAINING

CAP provides leadership training opportunities to students in Eastern Kentucky. Retreats, workshops, seminars, and other year-round leadership-related activities engage and equip young leaders for success.
