Our Approach
We are here to support parents of diverse learners. We recommend all our interested families begin by booking a FREE 30 minute consultation, where we will begin to explore the student's challenges and hear the goals families have in mind moving through them. After a bit of brainstorming, Kidz 1st will develop a thorough, hands-on plan and suggest the services to best implement it based on each student's needs and goals. With years of experience and vital knowledge, Kidz 1st will ensure families have access to the proper support and services for their child's success.
Our Mission
Our mission is to consult, support, and advocate for families navigating the complexities of
their children's social, emotional, and academic challenges within the school systems and
beyond. We are dedicated to unraveling the underlying reasons for a child's struggle and
facilitating a seamless connection to the necessary resources and support, fostering their
growth and well-being.
