The mission of High Hopes Inclusive Preschool and Pediatric Therapy Clinic is to equip children and youth with skills necessary to achieve success through education, rehabilitation, and loving support.

The heart of our mission aims to give all young individuals the tools to lead fulfilling lives from childhood through adulthood. For children with special needs, especially, life can present extra obstacles, whether physically, mentally, or socially. High Hopes offers many resources, through our Preschool and Pediatric Therapy Clinic, to help children conquer such obstacles and develop a strong foundation for their future.

In addition to the core services we provide, High Hopes is a place of respite for the hard-working families of children with special needs.  We provide a unique environment where families can entrust the care of their children to individuals with expert knowledge and abounding love for them.

What is High Hopes?

The two collaborative parts of High Hopes are an Inclusive Preschool, which teaches and nurtures typically-developing children and children with special needs, side-by-side in the same classroom and our Pediatric Therapy Clinic, which offers multiple high-quality therapeutic services that help to enhance developmental skills and minimize potential developmental delays.

With both branches located on the same site, children with special needs are able to receive beneficial socialization at school and attend therapy sessions, with ease.  The direct interface between teachers and therapists allows a constant flow of knowledge and support that improves the education of all children.

An inclusive environment like High Hopes’ is truly unique.  With regular interaction of children with special needs and typically-developing children, both parties are able to learn character-building traits like: acceptance of others, equality despite ability level, teamwork, and true friendship.

Why do the children of High Hopes need your help?

Our families’ needs are our number one priority. We strive to offer the highest quality of education and therapy services at the lowest cost possible, as many of these young families are already financially stressed from the cost of providing for a child with special needs. One of our patrons calculated that their family spent an extra $30,000 per year, after insurance, to provide for the special needs of their child. It is for these families, whom we care for so greatly, that we keep our prices so low, despite the high cost of providing quality services.  View some of our Personal Stories to hear, directly from our families, how High Hopes has impacted their lives.
