elementary program

In the elementary school classroom, we embrace a holistic educational philosophy that draws inspiration from approaches like Reggio Emilia, Montessori, and AutismHelper. Our ultimate goal is to nurture a genuine love of learning in every child. 

We approach teaching with the Missouri Core Standards in mind, ensuring a solid foundation of academic knowledge. Our curriculum seamlessly integrates Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles, harmonizing with our teaching philosophy to provide a strong instructional base. 

We take pride in crafting individualized and personalized lesson plans for every child, regardless of their neurotypical or neurodivergent status. Our blended classrooms are carefully structured to match students so that each one can both "learn up and model down," fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment. 

Beyond imparting necessary skills, our focus is on teaching children how to learn and advocate for themselves, thereby enhancing their potential for success when transitioning to public school. Our classrooms feature a dynamic mix of teachers and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) working together to support all students. 

We prioritize experiential activities over traditional worksheets to make learning engaging and memorable. Our funding model combines private insurance and private pay, ensuring that our educational approach remains accessible to all families committed to their child's growth and development.
