Learning Differences
At Sharp Minds Academy, we provide kids with a fun-filled and innovative environment called “Dreammaker’s Space”. We understand and embrace the reality that every child is unique and has limitless potential and talent.
Our Learning Differences platform is a bridge program for preschool-aged children to successfully transition into an elementary school setting, and is designed for children with specific needs such as Autism, ADHD, Limited Speech, or any Development Delays, who have aged out of Early Childhood.
Our certified teachers develop individualized education plans to target each student’s area of difficulty within a group setting, create tailored plans for students and work with your little ones to guide them on their own paths to excellence.
Our program provides a platform built to
