Classes & Placement

Our students are guided in developing a healthy self-image

Learning skills for conflict resolution and creating lasting friendships.

Our Curriculum

Children learn 1:1 with Teachers as well as small groups

Our Curriculum offers children the opportunity to work with Teachers 1:1 as well as in small groups to maximize their individual learning potential. Children are given the freedom to choose individual as well as paired and small group activities to enhance their learning experiences and social skills.

Students are encouraged to explore and create at their own pace through curriculum lesson plans executed at an individual level for each child. Children are also taught to share in the responsibility of maintaining an orderly environment.

Our students are guided in developing a healthy self-image and the awareness of the feelings of those around them. We believe, through our example and guidance, children will learn skills for conflict resolution and creating lasting friendships.
