*We are an integrated program accepting children of all abilities*

Yes! Our program is designed to be inclusive. If your child has a speech issue or autism, is non-verbal or semi-verbal they are welcome. Our classes are also good for children who are hard of hearing, visually impaired, or have sensory processing issues. We will assist you in getting your child evaluated by your local school district and having an IEP created if you wish. If your child already has an IEP (Individualized Educational Plan) then we will do our best to support their goals. Every student has a custom educational plan and degree path that is written with and for them so everyone can be on the same page to best support the student.

No. You do, however, need to log your child into the online classroom at the start of each class, but then you can either stay or do other things you need to do. Older children can log themselves into class and we will work with your child to help them remember to sign into classes.

No, once your child is logged in we will take over and help them with their work. Our curriculum is designed to be hands-on and self-contained with independent learning for core subjects, so there is no need for parents to supplement additional curriculum during the day.

No. There are no supplies required. We will let you know when we recommend supplies. Your child should have access to paper and writing utensils. And they will need a working computer to access sessions and independent work. We also highly recommend access to a printer (Epson Ecotank is our favorite brand and we highly recommend it.)

No. There are no other costs required to participate. We do offer add on services but they are not required.

We are using online websites to track your children's core learning, so they don't need to fill out the endless worksheets and workbooks that other programs have. We do provide printable manipulatives and activities that are optional, and having access to a printer is highly recommended. Our focus is on real, social interaction between an amazing instructor (that's US!) and a small class of amazing friends.

We are monitoring the programs your child is using so we know what they need to work on and can help to reinforce concepts in live sessions and provide individual help as needed.

After 18 years of teaching, I think I've seen just about every type of child there is. I'm excited to work with your child and help him or her have a wonderful experience!

You'll need internet access and a laptop or desktop computer. If you are worried about your child having access to non-school related websites, we offer a locked down Chromebook that you can rent from us. Your child will only have access to websites that we allow. If you sign up your child for another educational program we can add that website access to the child's laptop on request.

Yes. We will provide complete technical support.

We use Google Meet, a free platform. The links we use to join our online classroom are exclusive to our families so no one else can access the online classrooms. Plus, our online classroom is monitored by an instructor at all times when in use.

Absolutely! After signing up, you'll join our private Facebook group of amazing enrichment families. We're super supportive and excited to have you join us!
