Problem solving skills, one of the tenets of Family School, starts to be emphasized in this group. We understand that your child comes to us with unique experiences, interests, and learning styles. Our goal is to truly know your child and use this knowledge to guide, support, and motivate them, giving them a powerful and joyous learning experience.
