Our Process
Our collective experience of thinking and learning about the interconnectedness of academic, social-emotional, language, cognitive, and motor development guides our approach to teaching and learning. Our process is to connect a skilled instructor with a family based on need and personality. Our instructor takes on the case giving guidance for home and advocating at school. Every one of our instructors has worked in a therapeutic setting, giving them unique insight into ways to help children learn and grow. Read more about them below!
