Child Development Center

New backpacks, new routines, new teachers to meet. Fall is in the air and CDC classrooms are full again. Here's to another year of tiny humans doing big things.

A new school year is a good time to notice things. Maybe it's a speech pattern that hasn't quite clicked, a reading struggle that's more than just "getting used to it," or a skill that seems behind where it should be.

CDC+ offers therapy services, reading coaching, and audiology support built to catch these things early, when catching them early actually matters. If something's on your radar, don't wait for it to become a bigger conversation later.

A CDC staff email was recently compromised. Our technology team has addressed the issue.

Please do not open an email titled “Child Care Licensing 2026,” even if it appears to come from a CDC staff member. Please delete it.

It's 4:45 on a Tuesday. Tryouts start Monday and the coach needs a signed physical form. The pediatrician's earliest opening is three weeks out. Sound familiar?

That gap between needing care and getting it is exactly what CDC+ Quick Care was built to close. No appointment, no referral, most families in and out in about 30 minutes.

Tryouts start soon, and the sports physical form is still sitting on the counter.

We know how this goes... summer gets busy, the pediatrician's next opening is weeks out, and suddenly it's the week before the season starts!

Walk in, no appointment, sports physical done in 30 minutes! One less thing standing between your kid and that first practice.

90% of your child's brain development happens before age 3.

First steps, first words, first everything, all in a window that's easy to miss if you're not looking for it. CDC offers free developmental screenings for kids 0 to 5, covering hearing, vision, communication, thinking and reasoning, and motor skills.

One screening before age 2, and one before age 5, is the standard we recommend. It's free, it's quick, and it gives you real answers instead of guesswork.

Learn more and request a screening at cdccasper.org/screenings.
