DEVELOPMENTAL TRAJECTORY Over Time
Empower
Growth
​​
​The goal of an early intervention program like SPARK aims to close gaps in your child's development and bring their skills closer to those of their peers.
​
During the early years of development, the brain forms connections at an astonishing rate, with up to a thousand synapses forming per second. Some children do not spontaneously form these neural connections through general experiences, resulting in developmental gaps that are naturally widened over time.
​
With a strategic and personalized curriculum tailored to the child's strengths and challenges, a child is much more likely to be receptive to these learning conditions. This tailored approach aligns with your child's unique learning style and facilitates optimal development, which lays a strong foundation in their lifelong learning journey.
