Mission Statement
Wings Learning Center was created to address the unmet academic
and social needs of children with Autism, making it possible for
them to interact, learn and live with typically developing children.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Respect for each child’s learning differences is the cornerstone
of our philosophy. Our mission is two-fold: first, to create a
learning environment where children can learn academic, social
and interactive skills at a self challenging pace; and second,
to provide education opportunities for professionals to obtain
the necessary skills to promote effective inclusive environments
for children with different learning abilities.
Our teaching philosophy is based on the following concepts:
Respect each child as a whole and unique individual and
as an active participant in his/her environment.
Challenge each child by focusing on his/her strength and
encouraging consistent steps towards overall development.
Observe and respond to the child’s emotional, academic
and social development.
Believe in the child’s ability and desire to progress
up the ladder of personal interaction and learning.
How will we accomplish this?
Parent Involvement
Parent involvement is essential to the child’s emotional
and academic growth. Parents, teachers and support professionals
meet to write a detailed learning plan for their child and to
clearly outline goals and objectives for the school year. Parents
are required to meet regularly and evaluate their child’s
individual plan.
Partnership with local schools
Partnerships will be developed with local schools to establish
a classroom in the most inclusive environment.
Communication
Clear and Consistent Communication with all members of each child’s
learning team.
Structure
Classroom environment that is structured, calm, organized,
clean and conducive to learning across all modalities.
