About us
brief history
The Education Centre was originally set up in 2005 as a branch of the
Down Syndrome Educational Trust, by new parent and teacher Maggie Hart,
because she felt that the work undertaken by the Trust would benefit her
own son and other children like him in the North East of England. In
July 2006, the Education Centre became an independent charity, to enable
access to additional funding sources.
what we do
We run an Early Development Group for pre-school children and their parents, weekly during term-time (36 weeks per year). In September 2006 we launched a new School-Age Group for 4-11 year old children. These sessions are run in Darlington, but we also take children from surrounding areas including the rest of County Durham, Tyne & Wear, Cleveland and North Yorkshire.
