This togetherness as a family can [...]

No doubt 2020 has been full of lemons so far. It seems like it’s one unbelievable crisis after another these days and [...]
For seven weeks our schools were mostly empty. At times, the directors might be in the office catching up on administrative work or in the classrooms cleaning every possible surface but for the most part, the hallways and classrooms that for years were filled with children’s laughter and singing and curious voices sat eerily quiet. [...]

What Parents are Saying about Our Schools
I feel confident that my child is being shown lots of care and attention…
I have been really impressed with the staff at School for Amazing Kids, Weatherly. Every teacher my son has had has taken the time to learn about him, his needs and even the things he likes. My son was experiencing an issue with other children biting him in class and the staff worked very hard to bring an end to the problem quickly. After restructuring the classes and working more closely with the children to express themselves through using their words the biting stopped. My son truly loves his teachers and they love him. They show a lot of patience with my son and myself (when I go into “mommy mode”). As a parent, that works full time and attends school, I feel confident that my child is being shown lots of care and attention when I am not able to be with him.
