Parents' Comments on Individualized Teaching

Parent #1
A Brighter Today is primarily for children with special needs and the teaching staff are the most caring, supportive and outstanding teachers one could ask for. They respect each child and their needs.

Parent #2
My son has a very hard time at drop offs and the teachers are great with hil. He is held, hugged and with positive reinforcement is redirect to another activity. Since this school also includes medically fragile children, they have a Full Time Assistant who is also medically fragile. She was listed as Teacher 2.

Parent #3
The teachers at ABT are warm and friendly, and very focused on the quality of the program. The program brings in outside resources, like music instruction, science, and takes advantage of the talents and skills of their parent community in the classroom as well.

Parent #4
I think she is amazing

Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

View an example from the Savvy Source guide to learn more.

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
