HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR SERVICES?
Microschool: if you are homeschooling your children we can provide the components of academic instruction that are considered core learning, such as reading, writing, mathematics and relational language. This leaves you free to concentrate on other areas of growth such as science, social studies, civics, music, physical education, art, foreign languages, and whatever else your heart desires.
Single subject intervention: some children need advancement in just one subject and a single subject instruction is appropriate. If your child is already excelling in reading, for example, the mathematics track may be suitable, along with the relational language track to support the complexities of math concepts and problem solving. Other families choose to enroll a learner in single track instruction to provide enrichment opportunities to a child who is capable of moving beyond grade level work but who is not being challenged in their current instructional program.
Multiple subject intervention: some children require direct instruction in more than one academic subject. This level of service may be desired if the child is not attending a traditional school, either by choice or necessity. Other children have experienced school failure, even with an IEP, and need this level of remediation to ameliorate the effects of a disability.
Early learning skills: young learners often arrive in Kindergarden unprepared for the rigors of today's classrooms. Whether or not your child is currently attending a preschool, have them spend one hour each day at Blossom Park to develop good learning behaviors and mental flexibility. Early childhood education is a critical component of lifelong learning success.
