Bright Start

FREE GROUP SESSIONS

A parent or caregiver is really a child’s first teacher. Therefore, there is great value in highly involved family systems during the infant and toddler years. CCVI is now offering new parent/caregiver and child classes for families to learn side by side in a group setting. Sessions can be centered around social-emotional wellness, caregiver wellness, play, communication, gross and fine motor, and feeding. These sessions are held by certified staff members with specialties in vision. All sessions are free to attend for families with a child who has a visual impairment.

Eligibility

• Must have a child between the ages of 6 months to 3 years old.

• Child must have a visual impairment or a suspected visual impairment.

• Parents/Caregivers must be able to attend and participate for the full duration of the session.

  • Please limit to one to two caregivers attending at a time.

• At this time, childcare arrangements for siblings must be made elsewhere.

• Parents must be able to commute to CCVI’s campus at 3101 Main Street, Kansas City, MO 64111.

  • Bus routes are available with multiple stops nearby, along with the KC Streetcar opening later this Fall.
