Therapeutic Nursery
The Greenhouse Therapeutic Nursery and Primary classes provide
structured, supportive environments which is not only emotionally
rehabilitative and educationally instructive, but which also facilitates
entrance into a less restrictive environment once a child is ready
for grade school. The children leave the program more capable
of organized behavior in their new educational settings. By providing
intensive early intervention, our goal is to minimize the total
time a child will need to spend in highly restrictive special
educational settings.
