Gisele decided to start from the beginning. She began observing pre school and kindergarten children and watched some of them struggling to sit still, pay attention to the lesson, or follow directions without repeated support from the teacher. Some of these kids were already repeating kindergarten and a year behind their friends. Rather than see any more kids continue to be held back or face the frustration of always being behind their peers, she wants to work with parents to help identify and try to correct these problems.

  The earlier we start the better it will be so they can be a part of the class from day one. Many learning difficulties your child may have while in school could be solved earlier rather than later. Wee Steps to Education, a wee tutoring service is committed to making your child’s first years of school a rewarding, confident and exciting experience. It was founded by Gisele Price, a special education teacher with 15 years experience with special needs children. Based on her hands-on experience, Gisele realized that basic learning skills were not being learned by some students. Students were unable to process the elements of education as we know it.  Some kids learned to adapt while others faced failure and disappointment. 

We can not solve every child’s problems, but we can help identify things that need attention and work on them.

How do we do it?

A teacher comes to your home or the facility where your child is enrolled.  We observe the child and play with him/her for a while, assess a few points: follow direction, play,  academics, response time, eye contact, motor skills. We meet with your child, his teacher or caregiver and one or both parents. We make a needs assessment according to observations and the information the teachers and caregivers give us.  We then set up sessions to work with the student.  Since each child is different, each need will be different.  We will also create a plan so you can work with your child at home.  This is a family affair.  Everyone involved will need to work with the child and give positive reinforcement that he or she is doing the right thing at the right time.  We will all be using the same cues so the child will recognize and associate them and be able to take them with him to school.
