Our Infant Program nurtures vital developmental skills in children birth to 18 months, building a strong foundation for early learning1.
Our goal is to help families gain knowledge, skills and confidence. From helping infants with sleeping and feeding needs to teaching about communication, our teachers and therapists share their expertise to nurture each child’s holistic growth. This approach allows us to support children in all aspects of vision, sensory needs, development and education.
Our team of vision teachers and physical, speech/language, occupational and music therapists:
Anchor Center changed our lives forever. It is our community, our support, and a home away from home. It is a place where the dignity and potential of every child is respected.
Enrollment in our Infant Program begins with our referral process. Each child should have a pediatric ophthamology exam. Once referred to Anchor Center, our team will schedule a Functional Vision Assessment (FVA) with the family. The FVA evaluates each child’s unique vision challenges and strengths, informing eligibility for vision services while assisting families in identifying the most appropriate options for their child and themselves.

TUITION AND FEES To help cover the cost of our services, Anchor Center does charge tuition for our Infant Program. However, we never want this to be a deterrent to families receiving services; therefore, we offer a range of discounted rates to families thanks to the generosity of our loyal donors. Tuition agreements may be made available for review upon request.
Knowing what to do if you have concerns about a child’s vision can be overwhelming. We’re here to help make the process easier.
Louise was diagnosed with albinism. Her parents Megan and Scot were heartbroken. They were overwhelmed with questions of “Will she be able to see?” and “Will kids make fun of her?”
“The moment we walked in the doors at Anchor Center, we knew it was the right place for us,” Megan shares.Louise might be a face you’ve seen before. A video of her trying on glasses for the first time went viral, now receiving over 14 million views. Megan proudly advocates for albinism and recalls: “We were shocked. The outpouring of support and response was overwhelmingly wonderful.”
Our team works one-on-one with Louise on practicing depth perception, hand-eye coordination, and orientation and mobility. Megan is grateful for the experience: “Because of this place we have a sense of hope and no longer feel alone in this journey. The staff makes us feel like family and together we are united in the ups and downs. We are blessed and know that Louise is going to thrive beyond our wildest dreams.”
