Dear Parents,
Welcome to Social Stars Learning Center! We are a preschool program designed to focus on social and emotion skills within the classroom setting. Our mission is to help each child learn the skills necessary to be successful and to provide early mental health intervention services. We have a strong group of Teachers and a Treatment Team that believes in the importance of having a caring, compassionate, and safe environment for your child to learn the skills they may need before starting kindergarten.
