Most children know the feelings of: Reading and/or Math as struggles, extreme frustrations, "shut downs" and "stop trying" resulting in learning/ behavior problems.
DCLA's program is based on helping those children by providing a family oriented environment with authentic learning, academic achievement and practical life skills.
