Education Services

Schreiber also offers inclusive early childhood education through S.T.A.R.S. Preschool (ages 3–5) and Circle of Friends Academy (infant–school age). Both programs provide:

  • A reverse-mainstreaming model where children of all abilities learn together.
  • Integrated support from Schreiber’s therapy team when needed.
  • A nurturing environment focused on social, emotional, and cognitive development.
  • Flexible care options, with scholarships and tuition assistance available.

These programs help children build a strong foundation for learning, independence, and lifelong success.
