We Get Your Child Ready For School With A Love Of Reading

Social-Emotional Learning Is The Basis Of Good Citizenship
The Conscious Discipline® method by Dr. Becky Bailey introduces problem-solving strategies, decision-making, self-regulation, and more. From the smallest babies to kindergarten grads, teachers gently guide your child toward confidence managing tricky emotions, making good choices, and being a good friend.
