Inclusive by design
WHO WE SERVE
We serve children with developmental delays, children who are being evaluated, and typically developing peers, all learning together in the same classroom.
Children we support
We serve children ages 18 months to 5 years with autism, speech and language delays, sensory or motor differences, and social-emotional challenges. Children who are a good fit can generally follow two-step directions and have some expressive language.
Neurotypical peers
Typically developing children are a valued part of the classroom. Peer modeling is central to the program's approach and benefits every child enrolled. Neurotypical kids learn from neurodiverse kids and vice versa.
Four therapy disciplines, embedded in the school day.
CLINICAL SERVICES
All therapy is delivered inside the classroom by licensed clinicians. Families attend one program, on one schedule.
Behavioral Support (ABA)
Our program is led by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Behavior Technicians (BTs) using a Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI) approach, which blends ABA with child-led, play-based learning. Therapy is woven into daily classroom routines rather than delivered in a separate setting.

Preschool and early intervention, delivered together in the classroom.
Neurodiverse children regain the social and developmental benefits of peer interaction. Neurotypical children gain increased opportunities to build empathy, patience, and social flexibility.
Referrals are simple and take just a few minutes.
MAKING A REFERRAL
Send referrals directly by email or phone. It is helpful to include the child's age, primary concerns, and any existing evaluations. We handle the rest.
