Just a 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! 
Therefore, the staff endeavors to study each student and learn their way.  
Upon discovering the "child's way" we strive to teach them with respect to that bent, that way. 

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