Services

Children have much to say! They experience and feel the pressures of life just as adults. We MUST TAKE CARE of their hearts, and allow them to voice their emotions in an appropriate manner in which we really LISTEN and HEAR them! Emotional care and support not only help children develop into healthy adults: but, also greatly impact academic achievement. Elementary school is a time when students develop decision-making skills, communication and life-training skills, and character values. Comprehensive developmental counseling is based on PREVENTION.
