Supporting Children Birth–12 and Their Families
Program Overview
The Hillside Early Childhood & Family Development Program provides family-centered developmental and support services for children from birth through 12 years old and their caregivers. This program is designed to support children with developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder, and social-emotional regulation challenges, while strengthening caregiver capacity and overall family functioning.
Our services emphasize developmental support, parent education, family skill-building, and group-based services, delivered through a flexible and accessible service model. This program is intended to complement educational, medical, and community-based services by supporting families within their daily routines and natural environments.
Important Program Note
The Early Childhood & Family Development Program provides developmental support, parent training, family education, and group-based services. These services are distinct from psychotherapy and mental health treatment and are structured to align with developmental and community-based service models.

- Family-centered and strengths-based care
- Developmental and relational frameworks
- Trauma-informed practices
- Cultural humility and collaboration
- Systems-oriented and preventative approaches
