Therapeutic K–2 Classroom at Little Scholars Institute of Learning
Where Neurodivergent Learners Grow, Thrive, and Belong!
At Little Scholars Institute of Learning, we provide a therapeutic, small-group learning environment designed for neurodivergent children in Kindergarten through 2nd grade. Our program blends evidence-based intervention, individualized academic instruction, and a nurturing, sensory-responsive environment so every child can learn in the way that feels right for them.
We believe every child deserves a school experience where they feel understood, supported, and celebrated for who they are.
