The Family Learning Center . The Family Learning Center is dedicated to serving the family as a whole by educating children and providing caretakers with the resources, tools and training necessary to care for a child with special needs. We plan to launch programs for families in the community who need additional support in caring for their child with special needs such as classes about behavior management in the home and adapted literacy programs for children with special needs. Early Intervention . Our Early Intervention program is designed to serve children ages zero to three years old, when 85% of the brain is being developed. Due to our lengthy waiting list, many of our students are not receiving services during this crucial period of development. Once fully functioning, our Early Intervention program will allow families on the waiting list to start receiving the tools and training they need to care for their child. No longer will a child only be receiving services at the Little Light House, but will be able to carry out the programs in their home. We are currently piloting the program with several families on the waiting list and have seen nothing but great results! Developmental Classrooms . The Family Learning Center will also house two additional developmental classrooms, allowing us to enroll 20 additional students. These classrooms will function exactly like the classrooms in the current building with 10 students, one lead teacher, two assistant teachers, and a team of therapists who work together to help each student unlock their unlimited potential. YOU YOU. With the increase in budget occuring because of the Family Learning Center we need your help to raise the funds needed to make these programs a reality.
