From the Director:

Small group instruction based upon abilities insures success for all both advanced learners, regular paced learners and slow learners. Hands on materials allow children to enjoy and have fun while learning and moving from concrete to more abstract concepts. Specially designed materials along with books, workbooks, texts, leveled readers and periodicals round out the program.

From the Director:

Hands on approach using a variety of modalities to reach all learners

All of our classes cater to the developmental needs of each child ensuring they reach their highest level of potential by grouping children by their abilities and allowing them the materials and instruction they need to move on to the next level.

Small class sizes, hands on materials, latest research and specialist teachers provide a well rounded and in depth fun hands on learning experience using the latest research to provide a dynamic and enjoyable program.

Guests, hows and special visitors

We have monthly postings of all activities on our calendar, parents are met and greeted by teachers each day so there is on going communication and updates, there are portfolios kept on each child, there are formal assesments and reports given to the parents three times a year and parent teacher conferences are hel twice per year on a formal basis
There are parent education classes throughout the year.

We deal with this on a case by case basis offering the parent a variety of options for their comfort as well as the child's during the period of transition from home to school. this can range from parents in the classroom, abbrievated schedules, security blankets or buddies, phone calls, visiting with siblings, etc.
