Personalized Education For A Happy, Successful Life!
We are a Montessori based educational and life skills program serving autistic and special needs school aged children from 5 to 12 years old. Our unique, personalized approach uses evidenced-based teaching and the power of Dr. Montessori’s educational philosophy, combined with ABA, OT and Speech therapy as needed to give your child the highest quality education available, customized for their individual academic and developmental level.
Our Mission:
*Your Child CAN Learn and Grow We believe your autistic or special needs child deserves the highest quality education, developmental and life skills just like every other child!
We celebrate their individuality and help them discover how they can best contribute to our world and culture.
All children are naturally curious and love to learn; we support this innate drive by providing learning environments that meet your child’s educational, developmental, and life skills needs, by having a staff of loving and well-prepared adults, and by building a community of families that actively support our mission!
*We Are A PARTNERSHIP Our school is a community and a family for more than just the children. We view our relationship with you as a partnership, working together to help your child reach their full potential academically and as a happy, productive human being!
Why Do So Many Families Choose Us Over Other Elementary Schools or Centers?
*We Emphasize MORE Than Just Academics We honor your child’s individuality and focus on curiosity, independence, compassion, collaboration, community service and critical thinking, preparing him or her to take on the future with confidence, propelled by the gift of self knowledge and a passion for learning. Additionally, we emphasize their social, emotional, and physical development along with academic skills. All in a calm, peaceful, inclusive and supportive learning environment that provides your child the feeling of comfort and safety needed to perform at their best.
*Our Science Backed Curriculum is Custom Designed for YOUR Child Our therapies and support are cutting edge, our educational curriculum is backed by more than 107+ years of science, and it’s all personalized and custom designed around your child’s unique learning style, level, and strengths as an individual. Their interests are prioritized and skills are presented at the time when they are most ready to learn.
*We Meet Children Where They ARE and Help Them Soar to Their Highest Heights Whether autistic, gifted, dyslexic, ADHD, or many other learning differences, we allow each child to move and learn at their own pace. We know that learning is not linear, and that children are not ready to learn specific skills according to an adult-prepared timeline, or in perfect harmony with their peers. Kids who need more support with certain skills get that support, and those who are ready to move ahead are encouraged and able to find the challenges they crave.
