The Highland Center is now home to a school, and not just any school the Arc Caddo-Bossier’s Goldman School and Child Development Center.
The Goldman School is a Type III, Licensed, Four-Star quality rated child development center for children ages 8 weeks to 5 years old. This school provides inclusive learning for children with and without disabilities in both private and childcare assistance pay.
In April 2023, Goldman School announced that it would be partnering with the Highland Center to expand the Goldman School and Child Development Center.
10 months later on sunny winter day the Goldman School held a ribbon cutting in front of the newly renovated school.
“As the Arc Caddo-Bossier celebrates 70 years of existence this year, we are so excited to contribute to the rich legacy of our important mission of building unlimited opportunities for people with disabilities,” said Kristen Powers, Arc Caddo-Bossier Executive Director.
She continued by saying, “this choice to expand the school in this way was a choice of courage over a life of ease.”
