Welcome! At the Heritage Education Program, we recognize that all of our students are children first, and we do everything in our power to nurture, facilitate and expand each child’s growth and development in helping him/her reach for the stars! Our staff cultivate strong relationships with our students, and we work diligently to provide the greatest nurturing, learning environment that enriches the lives of the children we support. We see each child as a child first, and we address each child’s needs holistically, including where he/she is developmentally cognitively, physically, and what his/her sensory needs may be. We then immerse him/her into various learning experiences utilizing developmentally appropriate practices in facilitating learning so that each child may reach his/her fullest potential. One of our parents coined the phrase that Heritage Education Program is a place where hearts help minds grow! Our warm, caring staff ensure that children and families feel secure that they are in a school that truly cares about the students and that we strive to provide the highest quality program.
Mission: At The Arc Erie County, we offer individualized and comprehensive Person-centered services and compassionate support to people with developmental disabilities and their families. As a leading agency in Western New York for over 65 years, we take pride in our mission and advocacy that builds and strengthens the entire community. We are deeply dedicated to the people we support and their families who rely on our expertise to assist them in the discovery and delivery of life-long educational, employment, vocational, residential and support programs and resources. They turn to us to assist them in exploring all the available service options within our communities, so they can find meaningful opportunities, employment, a safe place to call home and the ability to achieve their greatest potential.

October is National Physical Therapy Month. At The Arc Education Program we are lucky to have caring, talented, and creative physical therapists to help our students achieve their highest potential. Physical Therapists are an important part of the education team, assisting students to navigate their school, participate in activities with their peers, and be as independent as possible. They do this by making exercise fun, so kids are excited to gain strength, balance, and coordination.
We appreciate our Physical Therapists all year long but feel free to give an extra thank you during Physical Therapy Month. Thank you to our awesome PTs: Charlene, Kahla, Katie, Brittney, Lindsay, Sarah, Serena, Lisa, and Shannon! We appreciate your dedication and hard work for our students.

you put the silver wear tucked under the napkin.
Mani,is feeling better this is her picture of jack-jack.
This is the chart we use for homeschooling.yesterday,and today Mani hasn't had school because she is sick.she will make up the work when she gets well.Thank you.
For mani's music lesson we do kids worship songs and we add the beats with what we have.the words that they use are uplifting freeing her soul.i don't let her listen to music that keeps her down.like humpty dumpty.she doesn't listen to it because it is teaching kids that if you are broken or you have things happen you will stay broken.in that song they say humpty dumpty can't be put back together.and her christain music teach's her when the world or people in the world hurt you GOD can put you back together.
Mani uses this for math.she likes it.
Mani, use's the top part of this to say her name.then we sign her name afterwards.
Mani,is haveing math class.she is watching homeschool pop for addition.then we will use the pumpkin for subtraction,and addition.she is doing well.
