Three ways to enroll

Early education is just that education that lays the foundation for a lifetime of learning. At Izzi, our center-based classrooms follow The Creative Curriculum®, a comprehensive, research-based approach that uses exploration and discovery to spark learning.

For families enrolled in our home visiting program, we use the Parents as Teachers curriculum, a research-based model designed to help parent educators identify family strengths and support child development from home.

Engaged families drive child success. At Izzi, our staff use evidence-based, individualized family engagement approaches to build meaningful relationships, nurture lifelong learning, and support each family’s resilience, strengths, and unique needs.

Our family engagement services connect parents with resources to help them achieve their goals. One example is Raising A Reader, a nationally recognized early literacy program that strengthens young children’s language and literacy skills by encouraging parents to read with them. We also uniquely engage fathers and other male role models through the county’s only Father’s Café program offered in a child care setting—empowering men to connect, share, and support one another in their parenting journeys.

We are proud to welcome students of all abilities into our programs.

All children benefit—cognitively, socially, and emotionally—when they learn and grow alongside peers with different abilities and learning styles. For children with physical, mental, or developmental needs, we partner closely with families to support their Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs) or Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). We also collaborate with school districts, the County Office of Education, community agencies, and advocacy groups to ensure a seamless continuum of services tailored to each child’s unique developmental needs.

We are committed to supporting the wellness and physical health of every child in our care.

Across our programs, we partner with community organizations to provide nutritious meals—breakfast, lunch, and snacks—along with developmental, vision, and hearing screenings; growth assessments; and dental care, including cleanings and minor procedures.

Children also enjoy structured, age- and developmentally appropriate physical activities that promote movement, coordination, and fun. We work hand-in-hand with parents to answer health-related questions and ensure children stay current on immunizations and physical exams.

Our mental health services draw on trauma-informed practices to promote the socio-emotional well-being of children, families, and staff and are available at each of our programs.  A consultant conducts observations and meets with staff to better address the diverse needs of the children in their care. Families can also meet with their consultant free of charge for confidential emotional support and parenting guidance. When a child shows more challenging behaviors and/or developmental concerns, a Multi-Disciplinary Team Meeting (MDTM) process brings together staff, families, and other specialists (as needed) to create an individualized plan that helps the child to succeed and thrive in the program.
