Nutrition and Health

Miami Valley Child Development Centers, Inc. recognizes that every child must be healthy and well nourished in order to grow and learn at full potential. As such, we offer preventive health services in our comprehensive selection of beneficial services. Early in the enrollment process, we will work to ensure your family is part of an effective health care source. Your child will undergo an early detection health assessment to help identify the need for health-related medical, dental, mental health, and nutritional care. Your family will be eligible to health resources through our community partnerships.

Examples include:

• Immunizations
• Basic health checks
• Speech/language screenings
• Hearing and vision exams
• Dental exams

As part of our healthy lifestyles program, your child will receive nutritious meals and snacks each day. They will learn dental care and how to properly brush their teeth. Referrals will be made for medical and dental assessments and treatment, as appropriate.

We also offer a health education program for children and parents. It includes topics such as safe practices and habits, plus nutritional issues on selection and preparation of healthy meals.

Our agency has offered inclusive services to children with disabilities since 1965. Currently, at least 10% of our enrollment opportunities are available for this population.
