Early Childhood Education
Child Development Center
The Anchorage Child Development Center provides full-day, year-round child care for children between 19 months and five years of age. Our center offers mixed-age suites to engage children in spacious classrooms with small class sizes and various educational activities and lessons.
Head Start & Early Head Start
Head Start and Early Head Start are federally funded programs that prepare Alaska’s children and families with low-incomes for school and life success through comprehensive services in early education and family well-being. While Head Start primarily serves three- and four-year-olds, Early Head Start visits the homes of families with infants and toddlers under the age of three.
Parents as Teachers (PAT)
Parents as Teachers (PAT), a national home-visiting teaching model, supports families in Alaska Communities by delivering in-home services to prenatal women and families with children ages five and under. We work with parents to promote their children’s development through comprehensive services that support early education and family well-being.
Teacher Apprenticeship Program
A “learn-while-you-earn” opportunity working alongside mentor teachers to develop practical teaching skills while completing coursework toward a Child Development Specialist Certificate or an Associate’s Degree in Early Education.
