What makes A First Foundation, LLC unique:
- Our visual, kinesthetic, and tactile strategies make learning easier AND more enjoyable
- A customized approach for individual and group services meets children where they are so they can build the confidence they need and deserve
- We recognize the interplay of academics, mental health, cognition, and behavior and foster whole child development through self-regulation strategies, social-emotional learning, and growth mindset
- We use an evidence-based, structured literacy approach that is grounded in the science of reading
- We work with parents to help them understand their child’s learning profile and strategies that can support their child in school and at home
Looking to give your child a head-start on reading and writing? A First Foundation, LLC helps young children in ½ day Kindergarten or Pre-K prepare for school.
A First Foundation’s "Kick-Start Kindergarten" Clubs focus on foundational literacy skills and are the perfect choice for any family looking to invest in their child's academic future. Our clubs supplement a ½-day school program and are intentionally small group. Through explicit lessons, hands-on activities, and high-interest children’s literature, learners gain skills in phonological awareness, oral language, alphabetic principle, phonics, and emergent writing. Focus is also given to social-emotional development, creating a well-rounded opportunity for kindergarten enrichment.
