Why Enrol Your Child in Big Sky Educational Therapy…
- I am committed to supporting your child each step of the way. I understand that we have all experienced failure and struggles along the way. I am here to be their cheerleader!
- I am committed to keeping you informed on your child’s progress and offering support to you, the parent.
- My hours are flexible. I will do my best to accommodate you and your child’s schedule. Please remember that this therapy is truly a ‘therapy’ and thus will be tiring for your child. It would be ideal if your child could enroll during school hours.
- And most importantly, my goal is to promote development of confidence and competence in your child. It’s a continuum – as confidence builds, competence follows…as confidence increases, competence builds.
The result? Your child is on the road to success!
