Who we serve

Envision's Child Development Center specializes in serving children who are blind or visually impaired while providing inclusive, high-quality education for all children in the Wichita, KS and Dallas, TX area.

Nursery (2 weeks to 12 months and walking)
Our Nursery nurtures curiosity from the very beginning. Infants are engaged through intentional, child-centered activities that promote language development and emotional bonding. Caregiver instructions are designed to spark connection and build a strong foundation for communication and social growth.

Transition 1 (12 months and walking to 2 ½ years)
In Transition 1, we support toddlers as they explore new independence. Daily routines are consistent and purposeful, fostering emotional security and introducing social skills. Instruction is thoughtfully guided while allowed for child-led discovery and meaningful play.

Transition 2 (2 ½ years to 4 years)
Transition 2 classrooms build on early brain development research to offer a well-rounded, thematic curriculum. Children engage in hands-on activities that promote growth across all learning domains—supporting cognitive, physical, and social-emotional development through purposeful play.

Preschool (4 years to school age)
Our Preschool program prepares children for kindergarten and beyond. Lessons are intentional, integrated, and child-centered, with a focus on social-emotional growth and school readiness. Activities align with the Head Start Early Learning Framework and are designed to provide both structure and challenge, empowering every child to thrive.
