PlayThinks Programs
We offer a half-day and full-day program for traditional or homeschooled learners who do not thrive in the traditional school environment. Our team of professionals can transform your child into a curious lifelong learner.
Work with one of our talented staff members to learn the language of learning. The Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment (FIE) method has enriched many members of our community allowing them to grow beyond their percieved ability and find new ways to engage with the world. No matter your age we will work with you.
We have dedicated staff who work one-on-one with students to help them reach their academic milestones.
Not all learners thrive in conventional educational settings.
