Testimonial

 

I have had the pleasure and privilege of having three of my children attend Silver Creek Pre-School.  When my autistic son started at Silver Creek, he had severe language delays and problems with transitioning from one activity to another.   Silver Creek welcomed him with open arms and created visual pictograms for my son to aid him with transitions.  This reduced his anxiety immensely and he felt safe, secure and loved by such dedicated staff.  He had access to excellent speech therapy and we saw a remarkable improvement with his expressive language. 

My two hearing impaired daughters were placed in classrooms with excellent peer language role models to assist in their language and articulation development.  They received individualized programs to meet their needs.  Silver Creek prepared them well for mainstream kindergarten.

Thank you Silver Creek for all your dedication, love and individual attention.  We are forever grateful!
