PACT: Helping Children With Special Needs
The first five years of a child’s life are the most critical in terms of development. It is during this time that 90 percent of a child’s brain growth occurs, accompanied by the cognitive development that often determines the course of the child’s future.
Yet, for many children, those critical years are spent just trying to survive.
PACT offers these young children and their families hope when they have nowhere else to turn. Ensuring that all children get the proper start in life is the goal that has been driving PACT since 1981.
PACT is the only specialized child care center in Central Maryland for young children with complex medical needs or infants and toddlers who are experiencing homelessness.
