At Circlebrook we develop an individual program plan that identifies each child’s developmental, social, behavioral, recreational, and physical needs. A typical care plan includes physical, speech and occupational therapy as well as age-appropriate school participation. Education programs are provided through the Redlands Unified School District for children who are medically stable and the Early Start program for children under the age of three.
