At Steps Learning Center, we believe in the transformative power of a truly individualized education. Our mission is simple yet profound: to provide neurodivergent children, especially those with moderate to significant needs, a learning experience that is tailored to their unique abilities, challenges, and potential. With our holistic approach, we integrate therapy and educational strategies to foster growth in all areas of a child’s life, from academic skills to social-emotional development.
A Holistic Approach to Education
What sets Steps Learning Center apart is our focus on the whole child. We understand that neurodivergent children, including those with conditions like autism, ADHD, generalized developmental delays, cerebral palsy and other learning differences, require more than just traditional classroom instruction. Their education needs to be shaped around their developmental needs, abilities, and interests. That’s why we offer a comprehensive, integrated approach that goes beyond academics.
Our curriculum includes a mix of core subjects like literacy and math, but it also emphasizes life skills, social-emotional learning (SEL), and independent living skills. Each lesson is designed not only to engage the mind but to strengthen the body and social connections. By integrating on-site therapies such as ABA, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, we support each child’s physical, cognitive, and emotional growth.
Truly Individualized Learning
At Steps Learning Center, no two students follow the same educational path. We understand that every child is different, and their educational experience should reflect that. Our team works closely with each family to create customized learning plans that are focused on the child’s strengths, needs, and personal goals.
Whether your child is enrolled in our Microschool program, our Afterschool program, or utilizing our Homebound Homeschool Support Program, they will receive one-on-one attention and instruction. Our educators and therapists collaborate regularly to ensure that the child’s learning experience is always evolving in a way that suits their current needs and developmental stages.
Microschool and Afterschool Programs
Our Microschool program offers both Full-Time and Part-Time attendance options for students who thrive in a small, personalized setting. Whether in the classroom full-time or as part-time learners, students benefit from a curriculum that caters to their learning style and pace.
For families who need additional support outside of school hours, our Afterschool program offers enriching activities that build on independence skills and provide valuable social interaction. Students are not only able to continue their educational journey but are also able to build friendships and practice communication skills in a safe, supportive environment.
Homebound Homeschool Support Program
For families whose children require a more flexible learning approach, Steps Learning Center offers a Homebound Homeschool Support Program. This virtual, asynchronous option is designed for children with complex needs who may not be able to attend traditional school settings. Our team provides personalized learning plans and ongoing support for both parents and students, ensuring that children continue to progress academically and socially from home.
FES-UA Scholarship Program
As Direct Pay Providers for the Family Empowerment Scholarship for Unique Abilities (FES-UA), Steps Learning Center makes education accessible to families who may need financial support. This scholarship helps families of students with special needs afford the specialized education they deserve. We are proud to offer this service and make quality education more accessible to those who need it most.
