Jamberry Program
 
 
Now accepting students for Fall 2011!
 
 

Jamberry Program is designed to be an integrated 7 and 7 program, specifically 7 “little linguists” and 7 children with mild-moderate speech, language, or social delays. Its curriculum fosters participation, language, creative thinking, and interaction with peers. Our philosophy is to expose children to rich materials and experiences to boost academics, language, cognition, and social competence.
Morning program(9 to 11) and afternoon program(1 to 3), Monday to Friday.
