Our Belief

All children deserve recognition for their strengths and their unique areas of growth.  They should then receive substantive and systematic teaching that empowers them cognitively, emotionally, and socially.

Our Values

Each child deserves the opportunity to be heard.
Each child deserves the opportunity to receive instruction that suits them best.
Parents deserve the opportunity to receive truthful and objective information about their children’s abilities and achievements in school.

Our Approach

Our approach to helping families starts with evaluation: we conduct a comprehensive assessment and review of your child’s social, emotional, and cognitive abilities.  We then recommend educational goals and strategies for your child’s work at home and at school.
