Our Vision

At Mirth Child Development Center, our vision is to create a world where every child — regardless of their neurodevelopmental differences — has the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive with dignity, independence, and acceptance.

We aim to become a trusted, inclusive alternative to mainstream education by offering a school-like, structured therapy environment where children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and related challenges can receive early intervention, consistent care, and developmental support in every essential domain — therapy, life skills, social development, communication, and emotional well-being.

Our ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between therapy and education while helping children gain functional independence and receive genuine support from society.

Our Mission

Our mission at Mirth Child Development Center is to provide comprehensive, evidence-based, and compassionate care for children with neurodevelopmental needs, while creating a structured, inclusive environment that promotes independence, confidence, and lifelong skills.

Our Core Values

Compassion

We treat every child and family with empathy and understanding.

Expertise

Our therapists maintain the highest standards of professional excellence.

Collaboration

We work together with families, schools, and communities for holistic development.

Progress

We celebrate every milestone, big or small, on each child's journey.

Our Unique Approach

What Makes Mirth CDC Different

Child-Centered Care

Every therapy plan is customized to the child's unique strengths, challenges, and interests. We follow the child's lead while gently guiding their development.

Family Involvement

Parents and caregivers are essential partners in therapy. We provide training and support to continue therapeutic activities at home for maximum progress.

Holistic Development

We address all aspects of development - physical, cognitive, communication, social-emotional, and adaptive skills - for comprehensive growth.
