We are a mission-driven nonprofit dedicated to providing high-quality, inclusive early childhood education that nurtures the whole child—socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. CDR empowers children, families, and early childhood professionals to reach their full potential, regardless of the challenges they may face. We are pleased to announce two temporary Sibling Group Leader positions within our Children's Services programs. These summer roles work as a team under the guidance of CDR's Developmental Playgroup Coordinator.

This group is offered for 8-10 weeks during the summer to allow families to continue participation in the Developmental Playgroup for infants and toddlers, while older siblings are out of school for the summer.
