Child Health & Development Resources & Support

Rompers Preschool has been working in partnership with SCDP, parents and professionals to support children with developmental disabilities or delays for many years.  SCDP provides funding for Rompers to hire Support Workers who in turn work with children to ensure that they are able to successfully participate in our preschool, and set them up for success in their school journey.

The Infant Development Program (IDP) at Aspire Richmond provides support to families with infants from birth to 3 years old who are:

• at risk for developmental delay,
• have a developmental delay,
