The Family School is a unique, nonprofit early childhood center.

We are committed to providing inclusive programming for young children with a wide range of abilities and needs and ongoing support to families.

We feature excellent toddler, preschool and kindergarten programs, follow up into the next setting, and morning and afternoon day-care for working families.

The Family School's mission is to provide quality preschool and kindergarten education to a diverse population of children and families.

We attend to a variety of children's needs to prevent school and family problems, including intense early intervention and follow-up programming for alumni.

The Family School addresses these issues directly by working with the children and their parents, giving them daily opportunities to interact with peers possessing more typical behaviors and experiences, and providing play therapy, behavior plans and psycho-educational testing by a psychologist.
