Oregon Child Development Coalition - Woodburn

The Oregon Child Development Coalition (OCDC) in Woodburn is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting young children and their families. OCDC specializes in serving children with disabilities and developmental delays, providing a foundation of early childhood education designed to foster lifelong success. Their programs are built on a mission of love, care, and inclusive education.

OCDC offers a variety of specialized programs, including Oregon Prenatal to Kindergarten (OPK), Preschool Promise (PSP), and Early Head Start Child Care Partnerships (EHS CCP). A key feature of their model is a commitment to true inclusion; classrooms are required to enroll at least 10% of children with identified disabilities. This ensures that all learners benefit from a diverse classroom environment and receive tailored support from trained specialists, including assistance with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), developmental support, and therapeutic services.

Beyond the classroom, OCDC focuses on building a comprehensive support network through strong community partnerships and family engagement. They serve a diverse population, including migrant and seasonal farm worker families and low-income households, with a focus on cultural inclusivity and responsiveness to the unique challenges faced by families in need.
