About Us

At St. David's Center, relationships are more than a benefit; they are the foundation for our work.

For more than 50 years, St. David's Center for Child & Family Development serves nearly 2,000 children, adults and families throughout the Minneapolis West metro each year.

We provide services in:

• Early Childhood Education - preschool and extended day care for children ages 15 months - 5 years
• Pediatric Therapies - rehabilitative therapies including speech, physical, occupational, music, feeding and autism day treatment
• Mental Health Services - individual and family therapy, support groups, skills training and case management for children and families
• Life-Phase Services - in-home and community-based support for children and adults with disabilities
• Early Intervention & Support - education, support and resources for families facing many obstacles in successfully raising their children

Our staff of more than 800 dedicated professionals is committed to developing and nurturing meaningful relationships with each child and family as well as within each family.

We offer an inclusive environment that embraces the individual differences in children of all abilities. We value the individuality of every child and family and collaborate across disciplines to fully understand each child's growth and development in all areas - cognitive, social, emotional and physical.

Although no longer affiliated with the church, we retain the St. David's name to honor our community heritage. Formerly known as St. David's Child Development & Family Services, we changed our name to St. David's Center for Child & Family Development in 2009 to better reflect our position as a center for leadership in child and family development.

It is our mission to Build relationships that nurture the development of every child and family. We continue to do this by:

• Embracing each individual's uniqueness,
• Enriching our community through opportunities, and
• Empowering children and families to thrive
