It is my responsibility to help your child to get the best possible education.  A good education includes not only learning to read, write, and do math, but also includes learning good social skills.  This means, among other things, learning how to get along with other children, making good decisions and accepting responsibility.  Many of these skills are taught at home.  It is my intent to supplement the learning from home through individual counseling and classroom guidance.  

If I can be of any help to you, please call (301) 447- 3161.
