SANFORD — Twenty children celebrated the successful completion of their programs at the Fraser-Ford Child Development Center surrounded by parents, teachers and staff on Aug. 17. They had been working, playing and learning the skills needed to move on to kindergarten. Graduation ceremonies took place at Waban’s Wormwood Banquet and Conference Center as the 5- and 6-year-olds sat patiently at the front of the room, donning their construction paper graduation caps.

Waban’s Fraser-Ford Child Development Center addresses the needs of preschool children with autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities, severe medical issues, Down Syndrome and other developmental delays, with the goal of transitioning to public school systems. The center aims to teach the skills necessary to make that transition easier.
