Reibman Hall Children’s Center at Northampton Community College, Main Campus, is a demonstration site where area child care providers can visit and observe to gain information and share ideas concerning inclusive, arts-integrated early childhood programs.
The Building Inclusive Child Care (BICC II) project focuses on fostering and promoting inclusive and universally designed child care practices on behalf of children with developmental disabilities. The project seeks to bring families and professionals together as “natural allies” and identify and provide supports that benefit children of varying and diverse abilities within the child care system.
