Learning support for your child is here

The last two years of school have been challenging.
And what we have learned thus
far is the resilience of fantastic educators,
schools and, of course, our kids. While there
have been hurdles, this is understandable; we
have never before dealt with a pandemic!
Here are a few signs that may mean your child
needs some learning support:
• They seem frustrated, more so than ever,
and are vocally sharing that they cannot understand
a specific subject
• Their teacher has expressed that your child
may have a learning challenge
Learning support comes in many different
forms. NYC has it all, from intensive tutoring
for those experiencing learning challenges
to those who offer coaching and enrichment
classes to help children fulfill their highest
potential. Some tutoring and enrichment programs
provide scholarships, so make sure to
check out what they offer to decide which service
is the best fit. There is assistance out there,
so once you have chosen your resource, reach
out to plan out your child’s education guidance
and support!
