Siskin Early Learning Centers

Siskin Children's Institute operates two early learning centers for young children with and without disabilities ages 6 weeks to pre-K in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The centers educate children with developmental disabilities, such as Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and autism spectrum conditions, as well as typically developing children, in an intregrated environment. Our philosophy is that children of all abilities develop to their full potential by having opportunities to interact with one another and develop meaningful relationships.

A comprehensive team of professionals including special educators, therapists, researchers and nurses work together to provide a broad range of programs and services including curriculum-based education; physical, occupational and speech therapies; nursing care; enrichment programs including creative movement, music and gardening; and more.

Siskin Early Learning Centers are funded through Siskin Children's Institute, and through contracts with the State of Tennessee and the Hamilton County Department of Education.
