Center for Child Development
Share
We help children to feel mentally strong and self-confident. We primarily work in schools throughout Delaware.
We are a private practice focused on the emotional and mental health needs of children and their families. Additionally, we provide services in our Newark office. We work to help children improve their behavior, express emotions appropriately, and help parents to feel confident in their parenting skills.
Children and teens often carry feelings they don’t have the words to explain. This Substance Use & Recovery Awareness Month, let’s lead with compassion, create space for honest conversations, and remind families that recovery is possible and support is available.
💜 Recovery is possible.
💜 Families deserve support.
💜 No one has to navigate it alone.

We’ve been working on something new for CCD parents and caregivers, and we’re excited to share more about it soon.
The CCD Parent Resource Center is being created as a place families can turn to between sessions for practical information, support, and tools they can actually use at home.
It will include resources on many of the things parents ask about most — big emotions, ADHD, autism, child development, separation and divorce, parenting strategies, stress, and more.
There will also be simple tools to help you keep track of what’s happening at home, questions you want to remember, and things you may want to bring into your child’s next session.
Our goal is to make this feel useful and easy to understand.
If there’s a topic you’d especially like us to include, we’d love to hear from you.
We’ll be sharing more about the Parent Resource Center soon.
Growing up often means pulling away—but staying connected still matters. 💙
Your teen still needs your support, even if they don’t always show it. Watch our latest video to learn why and discover ways to strengthen your relationship.
Share your thoughts below and help spread hope for families in our community.

❤️ Every child deserves a safe place to heal.
When a parent or caregiver is incarcerated, children often carry emotions they don't know how to express. HeartStrong is a 5-week summer support group designed to help children ages 5–13 build healthy coping skills, connect with peers who understand, and discover that they are not alone.
