Our program has 3 areas of interaction:

Mobile work space for kids to have a hands on simulation of various trades such as: Carpentry, Electronics and Plumbing.

Wooden puzzles that kids are able to assemble, design and paint themselves to create a unique experience that addresses a hands on challenge that is also a rewarding learning environment.

We have a toy partnership that allows us to create newer colorful and interactive handheld toy products that will keep children engaged throughout the day.

Education

We focus on the needs of families who are navigating the difficult terrain of the educational system; with children who qualify or have the potential to qualify for an IEP or 504.
We are finding out that many of these children are vulnerable to not receiving the adequate support needed in school. And that parents (who have the financial resources) are having to hire advisors to aid them through the process. Additionally parents or caregivers must hire tutors outside of school hours to provide support. The current education environment is overwhelmed and children are the ones suffering from this crisis. 

We have a 3 tier approach:

We work with the family and child to help alleviate any anxiety or embarrassment that could come with any such diagnosis.

We work with the schools to provide support for their blind spots as it relates to the latest innovative approaches to learning.

Most importantly; we work as a liaison with the schools and the families to ensure that each child is able to access the specific educational care needed for their individual learning experience.
