Say What?
(Notes from Our Families)
New Name. New Logo. New Website.
SAME HEART
In this, our 50th Anniversary year, we wanted to celebrate our foundational and meaningful past while looking toward a bright future of growth in caring for children of all abilities through our educational and therapeutic programming. One way we are doing that is re-branding with a new name, logo and website to better engage and communicate with our community; to better reflect who we are.
We are celebrating and strengthening the partnerships that got us to where we are today, and inviting new ones to join us in our mission – Nurturing the growth and potential of every child. We are proud to remain child-centered and family-focused and in so doing will continue to engage, enrich and educate children of all abilities.
Children are meant to thrive; your partnership helps us make sure they do!

💜 “It’s amazing how much time has gone by between these two photos! Michael, now 14, was just under 3 when the original was taken. He’s come a long way in the last decade, and his time at PCD played a big role in that.” ![]()
