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.” |
