In addition, we also offer support on these topics :
Mindful Parenting
Every parent knows that having children is both amazing and incredibly hard! If you are looking for support in how to eliminate frustrations when your child does not listen to you or meet behavioral expectations, we will provide tailored advice, guidance and solutions to the challenges you are facing with your child.
Neurodivergent Student Support
This package is for you if you are the parent of a child with diverse needs, ranging from sensory processing, attention, executive functioning, speech and language, and more. We offer support and guidance through the IEP process, when applicable, and design individual structures and supports to help your child access the learning and play they enjoy most!
New Math and New Reading Support
Both math and reading are not taught in schools the way we learned them. If you are seeking learning and guidance on how to introduce and reinforce academic concepts to your child in a developmentally appropriate way that integrates hands-on, multi-sensory learning, this is the package for you. You will learn the social skills needed to succeed in school as well as strategies on how to practice them at home.
Teacher Communication
Your child may be in a class with upwards of 30 other students. There are so many personalities, needs, and learning styles for the teacher to accommodate. As your child’s caretaker, you benefit from being informed of what to flag for your teacher, the right questions to ask, and what information is best to share with the teaching team. This may be an introduction and proactive learning for you, or you may be seeking immediate support with a challenging school dynamic. Whatever your needs are, we can provide you with structure and perspective to help everyone be on the same team for your child.
Kindergarten Readiness
Incoming kindergarteners need many skill sets as a foundation before entering the school year. In this package, you will receive support from us around the academic skills, navigation of social interactions with peers, emotional and sensory self-regulation skills, gross and fine motor development, and pro-social behaviors necessary to be successful in the first year of elementary school.
Private School Interview Prep
Leave it to us to make sure that your child shines on their interview day! By engaging with different members of the Amore team, we will make sure your child is comfortable and confident in conversation so that their true personality comes through when they meet with schools. Are you sick of hearing yourself say, “Remember honey… EYE CONTACT!” Don’t worry, we got you.
