(4)
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 childโs 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 childโs 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.

The month of May is designated as Better Speech and Hearing Month and May 18th is National Speech-Language Pathologist Day. The Arc Education Program would like to thank the Speech Pathology Department at the Preschool and School Age buildings for their dedication to the students that we serve. The therapists work hard every day to assist the children with not only their overall communication skills but also with their receptive/expressive language, articulation, fluency, oral motor, feeding/swallowing, social, and Augmentative/Alternative communication skills. Thank you for all that you do!

For the past month, Miss Linda and Miss Lindsey's classroom worked on a donation drive to benefit 716 PAWS. Students made and distributed flyers to every classroom and decorated donation boxes to be used for collecting items. Our school community really came through and we were able to collect a lot of treats, food, collar, etc.
Our project was highlighted by a visit from Miss Michele and puppy Crus from 716 Paws. Crus is such a sweet puppy and we can't wait until we hear he is adopted. Thank you to all of our staff, students and families who donated!

In April, we celebrate Occupational Therapy Month to recognize our occupational therapists who help our students participate throughout their school day. Our skilled team of occupational therapists work with our students on skills such as fine motor (picking up items, pressing buttons, writing), visual motor (puzzles, playing with blocks, coloring a picture), self-help skills (dressing, feeding), vocational skills (job readiness skills), and sensory processing (taking in our environment and having an appropriate response). The OTs use a variety of activities to engage our students and make the work they are doing fun and functional. Every child's occupational therapy time will look different depending on their needs. Thank you to our Occupational Therapy team for supporting our students and helping them grow. Happy Occupational Therapy Month!
