A Discovery Meeting is an important step when working with a new teacher and student. It is an opportunity to ask questions, tour our location and get to know one another.

An IEP (Individual Education Plan) is a document that outlines your child’s learning strengths, challenges and strategies to support their learning experience.

The goal of this document is to set students up for success. We facilitate this process by being your child's advocate by:

This service is a 90-minute family learning session designed for children who need extra support transitioning into independent learning.
