Abstract	This article features Childgarden Child Development Center, located in the heart of St. Louis. It's a cheery, bright place with colorful self-portraits by pintsized Picassos hanging from every wall. More than 120 children aged six weeks to eight years old gather at Childgarden each day to learn all about themselves and the world around them. In many ways, it looks like a typical child care center. But Childgarden is a rarity in the field: a completely inclusive center. Thirty percent of the children who attend Childgarden have some sort of developmental delay. Their diagnoses run the gamut from Down syndrome to autism spectrum disorders to cerebral palsy. There is no segregating the special-needs students. They attend class with their typically-developing peers and receive a variety of early intervention therapies on site. (ERIC).
