Child Development Institute (CDI) has been a leading expert in early child development for more than 25 years. They help children reach their full potential by focusing on strengthening families and communities in the San Fernando Valley. Using an integrated, “whole child” approach, CDI considers all factors in a child’s development – relationships, environments and communities. CDI’s primary focus is the child’s family. Families are the most important providers of loving relationships and nurturing environments, which provide the foundation for a child’s healthy development. CDI believes all families should have access to quality developmental screenings, safe play-based environments, and innovative, effective intervention services. CDI has been a strong supporter of IDA for many years. For more information about CDI, please visit www.cdikids.org.
