Learn with the Best offers age and gender specific small group learning opportunities focused on helping your child build and strengthen age appropriate strategies to help him or her successfully meet social and academic expectations across settings.
Through a variety of instructional and “hands on” modalities, we address topics such as conversational skills, body language, social cues, personal space, personal hygiene, making and maintaining peer and adult relationships, using social media and responsible behavior at home, at school and in the community.
Our applications allow for parent feedback and specific skill requests that we are happy to integrate into our curriculum as time allows. Your child’s social success is our number one PALS priority!
