Just a little bit about Child's Way 

The name Child's Way  is more about a philosophy than anything. 
We believe that all people have strengths and talents. It's just a matter of discovering them. 
Strengths can help overcome weaknesses. 
It's amazing what can happen when a person is allowed to shine! 

We have an incredible staff.
The school is small. 
We're like a family and it's almost like a big overgrown home school. 
The building is old... filled with ART and antiques... lots of fun things. 
​The people are the best!
