Overview

Meals (breakfast, hot lunch, and a snack) are provided at no extra cost through the USDA Food Program.
Annual screenings are provided for hearing, vision, speech, dental health, and sensory-motor functioning.
The center works with public health personnel and allied specialists to provide health consultations, staff in-service training, occupational therapy screenings for motor skills, speech screening services, and onsite mental health consultation funded through public health sources.
