Fun and educational

Located just minutes from Arizona State University, we service students from all over the south and east Valley, from Maricopa to Scottsdale! We exist to support students with special needs meet their goals through our supportive, kind and respectful community of dedicated, educational professionals. We engage learners by making education fun through our various programs such as KidsBiz, guided workplace experiences in the community, cooking classes, and much more. Our “work” is their “play”.
