The centers also offer after/before school care and summer programs for families that need additional care for their child.

§        Inclusive Day Care:  Parkview School and Learning Center, located in Gaston County, also provides inclusive child care for children who are typically developing and atypically developing at a private pay rate or by voucher.  Children learn best from other children and need experiences with each other.  Children who are typically developing learn to respect the differences of other children.
