About Us

The Learning Lane is a private pay center for children with autism or language delays. The Learning Lane's multidisciplinary staff provides a broad continuum of direct services, information and support in the areas of behavior, academics and language development.

Site Tours

Site Tours- Because of our priority to our students all school tours must be scheduled in advance. This is to assure that we can give you ample time to not only visit our facility but to explain what we do an answer any questions you may have. I will respond to any inquiry (via phone or email) within 24-48 hours to arrange a convenient time to tour for both of us.

Interested parents should call The Learning Lane to schedule a tour with the director. Upon completion of a tour parents can submit the waiting list application. When the forms are returned to the center, the form will be dated and the child's name will be placed on a waiting list for the appropriate program you have selected. When a vacancy occurs, the director will notify the parents by a phone call or an email. If a parent decides not to fill the vacant spot they will be removed from the waiting list and another family will be called.

Our Mission

The Learning Lane believes by using the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) positive and meaningful learning can take place.

Our Vision

The Learning Lane's intent is to be recognized by their clients, staff and referral sources as an effective provider of services for children with autism and language delays. We hope to realize this intent by building an environment in which: services are consumer driven; the highest caliber of staff are retained; diversity is valued; expectations are high; rewards are evident; and outcomes are visible.

The Learning Lane's philosophy on Education

The Learning Lane is an Applied Behavior Analysis Preschool Center model serving children ages from 2 to 7 years of age with autism or language delays. Our center is also open to typically developing children. The Learning Lane recognizes that children with special needs and those with typical needs benefit immensely from shared growth and learning experiences. Play is a foundation for development and is the primary tool children use to learn. At The Learning Lane, we recognize the unique abilities of each child. The curriculum and highly qualified staff foster children's strength through a balance of activities, which are developmentally appropriate and individualized to meet the developmental stages of each child. By learning and playing together, children learn about differences in abilities and talents and background experiences that create the rich diversity of our society. Inclusion provides a challenging, enlightening and motivating environment for all children. Learning is a 24-hour a day proposition. Parents are encouraged to have students involved in family and community activities. Each day students are actively engaged in the learning process.

The mission of our center is to make every child feel triumphant in some way every day by providing a positive childhood experience.
