❓ Is My Child Ready for Kindergarten?

This is one of the most common questions we hear—and the answer is rarely just yes or no.

Kindergarten readiness includes:
✔️ Language and communication
✔️ Attention and listening
✔️ Social skills and independence
✔️ Early academic foundations

If you’re wondering about your child’s readiness, early support can make a big difference in confidence and success.

Way to go, Adrian!

"We are so grateful for Enrichment Therapy and Learning Center. Our son was diagnosed with a developmental language disorder, and since starting speech therapy here, we’ve seen incredible growth. He is more confident in himself, excited to learn, and making so much progress toward his goals. His therapist is patient, encouraging, and truly invested in his success. We feel so thankful to have such a supportive and caring team walking alongside our son and our family. From the beginning, the team at ETLC has been amazing." - Adrian's Mom

"Adrian, I’m so proud of you for jumping into speech therapy with courage and boldness. I have the honor of seeing how hard you work each session. Your effort and motivation do not go unnoticed! Thank you for always arriving with a positive attitude. That makes learning so much fun, and it’s a joy to watch your confidence grow." - Karlin McGarvey, M.S., CF-SLP

Way to go, Cooper!

"Cooper has been a student with ETLC for almost 10 years now. He has received SLP services and tutoring services. Cooper’s growth in both of those areas, means as he enters high school next fall, for the first time he will be on or above grade-level in EVERYTHING!! His work and the wonderful staff here at ETLC has helped him to be a very confident version of himself in and out of the classroom!" - Cooper's Dad

"Cooper has shown impressive growth over the past couple of years, and his hard work has truly paid off. I have worked with him for many years and have seen firsthand how much progress he has made in many different areas. I am truly amazed by the strides he has made, taking on new challenges with a positive attitude, staying focused on improving his skills, and showing determination even when things are difficult. Cooper’s commitment to learning and his steady improvement have made a noticeable difference in his confidence and overall performance. I am incredibly proud of him, and it is clear that his family is proud of him as well. Because of this growth and his great attitude, he has been chosen as the Student of the Month for February, a recognition he has truly earned." - Sarah McCurdy, Learning Specialist

Feeding & Swallowing: Tip Tuesday 💛

It can take many tries before a new food feels safe or familiar. Start with looking, touching, or smelling — eating can come later. Pressure-free exposure helps build comfort and confidence at the table.
