Meet Our Staff

The staff at Every Little Blessing recognizes the unique challenges and joys of knowing and working with children with Down syndrome and other (dis)abilities. Families can be assured that their child will be loved, supported and encouraged to try new things. In an inclusive setting, our staff understands the developmental milestones of typically developing children as well and children become the role models for the Down syndrome population. Teachers work to individualize goals for all children beginning with what their strengths are.
