Movement promotes learning.
Horse Boy Learning
We provide developmental and educational support for children Birth-8 years old. We can provide developmental assessment, behavior support and educational services tailored to your child's and families needs. It is important that these supports work across environments so we can also provide assistance and observation at day care or at home.
