At Whaley Children's Center, we offer a variety of educational options to ensure that a child's needs are being met.

Our on-grounds school, The LaFontaine Learning Academy, is home to a new educational partnership with 2nd Street Learning Hub. 2nd Street is a self-paced alternative education program that crafts tailor-made learning experiences so the child may thrive in life. Youth are exposed to a variety of real-life experiences coupled with small-sized classroom experiences that lead to credit recovery. 2nd Street ensures that all IEP services and supports are adhered to. We also ensure the children who attend 2nd Street are supported by staffing each classroom with our Youth Specialists for when the child needs additional support.

If a child does not attend the on-grounds school, they will attend one of our many public or charter school partners within the community.

During the summer months, we offer a summer enrichment program conducted by certified teaching professionals to help the children retain the information that they had learned the previous year. This six-week program focuses on common core standards, credit recovery, kinesthetic learning and projects, and multiple community field trips.

Additionally, we have a tutoring program that helps to support the children with their educational needs. Our tutors are various community members who have some experience in the education field from college students to retired teachers.
