Child Care Providers

If you are a child care provider who enjoys children of all neurotypes, respects all modes of communication, and is interested in learning more about neurodiveristy-affirming child care practices, we invite you to apply to be listed on our directory.

There is no cost at this time to join the directory. At this time, the directory is for providers in Durham / Raleigh / Chapel Hill, NC and New York City, NY.

If it’s so hard for us as adults to always remain in control of our emotions, to always respond with kind words and patience, to always hold on to our self-control when we’re tired or frustrated or disappointed or angry, can you imagine how much more difficulty it must be for our children?
