Our Philosophy is that every child is born with strengths and weaknesses and that much is possible if we emphasize the positive.
Research has shown that the first six years of a childs life are the most significant to his or her physical mental and psychological development. The earlier we begin to work with a child the greater the probability that we can facilitate the fulfillment of a childs potential.
We think what makes our school unique is our behavioral approach to learning and our emphasis on remediation rather than on diagnosis. We help children learn to deal with frustrations and turn negative situations into positive solutions. We believe that any child can learn with the right behavioral components to teach appropriate skills.
