Nurturing Minds While Healing Hearts

At Hearthstone Support, we believe education shouldn’t stop when treatment begins. Our specialized academic program ensures children (ages 6–17) continue learning in a trauma-sensitive environment while receiving therapeutic care.

Our Educational Approach

1. Individualized Learning Plans

✔ Academic assessments upon admission
✔ Customized lesson plans aligned with IEPs (if applicable)
✔ 1:1 tutoring in core subjects (math, reading, science)

2. Trauma-Informed Classroom

✔ Small class sizes (4:1 student-teacher ratio)
✔ Sensory-friendly learning spaces
✔ Emotional regulation breaks built into lessons

“For the first time, my child enjoys school because they finally feel understood.” – Parent of a Hearthstone student

3. School Reintegration Support

✔ Coordination with home school districts
✔ Transition planning for academic re-entry
✔ Advocacy for IEP/504 Plan accommodations

4. Therapeutic Learning Activities

✔ Art-integrated curriculum to process emotions
✔ Social skills practice through group projects
✔ Life skills development (time management, organization)
