Centre for Literacy

The Centre for Literacy is so fortunate to have an administrative team that works together to make it all happen for our families, students and staff. Jackie is one of those superstars! Thank you for all of your hard work over the last decade ❤️

We're right in the middle of Summer Reading Boosts. It's so fun to have young readers come through each morning excited to 'play games' that are teaching them how to read well and getting them ready for fall.

The group Boosts are full for this summer, but one-on-one instruction is available, which is equally fun (and effective!). We use the most current research on reading to structure sessions that are tailor-made for your child. www.centre4literacy.com

It's hard to send this note out so soon after the end of this past school year, but this free webinar might be worth sitting in on.

ADHD expert Cheryl Chase, Ph.D., will show parents how to ease into the first few weeks of school with a brain-based action guide designed to reduce friction. She reframes the back‑to‑school transition as a full cognitive reboot — not a behavior issue — and gives families practical tools to help kids settle into the next school year with confidence.

Live Webinar July 14: Mapping a Smoother Back-to-School Transition Getting ready for back to school means anticipating ADHD, sensory, and executive function strains during the transition, and setting expectations.

We consistently receive heartwarming feedback and emails from families highlighting the profound impact of our teachers. Families are deeply appreciative of the dedicated support and the significant academic progress they witness in their children. Thank you C4L teachers! 🙏 We recognize that you have numerous other responsibilities and commitments, yet you consistently show up for students who require additional guidance to unlock their full learning potential. ❤️

Camp Abilities Registration is Open!

Only a few spots left in the 8-12 years camps

Many children with learning disabilities, ADHD, Tourette, ASD or Anxiety, camp can be a stressful, high anxiety environment. Choosing the right camp for your child is a decision that can make or break your child’s summer experience. Camp should be the nurturing place where children enjoy the outdoors, form new friendships, take risks, and experience new activities and adventures.

Lower staff to participant ratio than most camps
