Kindervention

ALERT: Kindervention will be put on hold in May while seeking continued funding. Thanks for your support of the program!

Mosaic has been a leader in providing quality developmental care for children from birth to three for over 10 years. Thanks to a grant provided by the Community Church of Joy, Mosaic started a program called Kindervention to provide FREE services for families with children between the ages of 18 months to five-years-old.

Contact us to enroll your child(ren) in Kindervention.

Kindervention will help children strengthen their skills and provide an inclusive environment for children with disabilities and with developmental delays. Children will not only learn from the instructor, but learn from each other.
