“St. Louis Children’s Hospital Child Development Centers offer children a warm, nurturing environment with a variety of learning experiences to promote individual growth and development,” says Rosalyn McKnight, manager of SLCH Child Development Programs. “Children learn through play, and learning is enhanced when children actively participate in meaningful experiences. The curriculum is tailored to each child’s age and developmental level and is challenging and fun to ensure a child’s involvement.”
