Children’s Health Assessments
Jordan Valley Family Development & Early Childhood Education Center includes comprehensive health care for your child(ren), including medical, dental, vision, and behavioral health services.
In addition to childcare and healthcare, we will also complete a development assessment for your child(ren), upon enrollment and prior to moving up to the next classroom.
As a part of the Jordan Valley Family Development & Early Childhood Education Center, your family will receive a needs assessment. This assessment will allow us to identify the areas of needs for your family. Once identified our trained Community Health Workers will help to make these connections including any medical, vision or dental appointments.
