Why KIDS 1? |
|
Every day, KIDS 1’s specialized
schools strive to create an educational atmosphere in
which students with particular needs can thrive. As the
name of our company implies, we place our kids first —
they’re our number-one priority and the facet of
our organization from which all the others stem. Because
we are privatized, we can offer a host of advantages that
public schools can’t, including:
|
|
|
|
• |
A cutting-edge educational model
proven to work with special needs kids |
|
| • |
Highly individualized supervision
and instruction |
| • |
Flexible curriculums and custom-tailored
programs |
| • |
A team of dedicated and compassionate
teachers, teaching assistants, social workers, and counselors |
| • |
Multiple locations to choose
from |
| • |
Counseling and other on-site
supplementary services |
| • |
Transitional services for older
students |
| • |
Partnerships with outside agencies
that complement and reinforce our own endeavors and goals |
| • |
A truly dynamic atmosphere, highlighting
real interaction and one-on-one relationships |
|
For potential staff
members, our growing company offers a highly supportive
and fulfilling work environment. In addition to competitive
salaries and a great benefits package, we fully train our educators
and support staff, preparing them to best utilize our innovative
tutorial practices and learning systems. Low teacher-to-student
classroom ratios allow our employees to make a real impact on
the kids we serve as they simultaneously develop close bonds
with them. Our educational philosophy recognizes our staff members’
specific talents and strengths and then encourages them to creatively
apply those skills in the classroom. This makes for a challenging,
fun, and ever-evolving workplace, where colleagues consistently
help and inspire one another.
For parents and guardians, KIDS
1 offers an ideal alternative to traditional schooling because
we’ve built an effective, comprehensive framework geared
entirely to students who pose learning, language, and/or social
challenges that cannot be adequately met in the public school
system. We do indeed offer a full academic curriculum, but we
also provide vocational training, special-skills instruction,
and personalized services like speech and language therapy when
needed — all of which progress at the student’s
own pace. We’re especially proud of our focus on preparing
our students for real life — for the responsibilities,
community involvement, and practical issues they’ll encounter
as adults. But more than anything, KIDS 1 offers a unique educational
setting where self-esteem is enriched, self-motivation is rewarded,
and self-respect grows with each new accomplishment.
So whether you’re a prospective employee looking for an
exceptional place to work or a parent seeking an exceptional
place to school and socialize your child, we invite you to find
out more about KIDS 1 and our various learning institutions.
There’s nothing we love more than welcoming new people
to our expanding family and introducing them to the many benefits
and distinctive characteristics of our innovative and individualized
educational environment.

All aspects of my daughter's
development blossomed in an environment that was intense, structured,
and positive…The exceptional, one-on-one academic instruction
and small group discussions provided an atmosphere that enhanced
her knowledge in math, reading, science, and social studies,
while meeting her personal and IEP mandated goals……High
Road, thank you, for making our dreams come true.” |

“ |
Visiting your schools was a
wonderful experience. We deeply appreciated the opportunity
to see educational theory and research informing practice. (The
three of us), as deans at a leading college of education…were
very impressed with the thoughtful and sensitive approach in
which you created a learning environment based on individualized
student centered learning principles. The consistency with which
these learning principles were infused in the curriculum across
the school from classroom to classroom was unquestionably among
the best I have seen in educational practice.” |
