Become Part of Our Mission!

As 2024 comes to a close, on behalf of our Team at Celebrate the Children and our Board of Directors, we are grateful to our stakeholders for all of the continued support we have received in honor of our combined commitment to the mission and philosophy of CTC. The school exists to maintain a safe and healthy learning environment for individuals with neurodiversity. Celebrate the Children truly believes in every student’s potential and because of that we continue to heavily focus on curriculums, programming and outreach that provides our students with any and every opportunity afforded to any child or adult. Presuming competence is critical to tapping into the intelligence, the gifts and the strengths that all of our students possess. 

Meet Kevin and His Family!
"There are no words that can fully express our gratitude to CTC. In our family, Kevin’s acceptance into CTC is one of the most significant and life-changing events we’ve ever experienced. At CTC, they recognize the intelligent, kind, and brilliant young man that is our son, and they empower him to embrace his strengths while providing support for his challenges. He engages happily with his peers and teachers and is provided with age-appropriate material tailored to his individual needs . Each morning, he wakes up excited to attend CTC, and in the short two years he has been there, he has made remarkable progress, accomplishing things that others once thought impossible. Most importantly, his self-confidence, happiness, and communication skills have blossomed at CTC. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and we couldn’t have asked for a better addition to our village than CTC. CTC is a model school for neurodiversity and strengths-based education. Every staff member genuinely cares and gives their all to help our child and our entire family live the best life possible. The leadership and staff at CTC are more than just educators—they have become part of our family, and we are so grateful for the way they’ve welcomed us into their community. When you donate to CTC, you don’t just change the lives of the children at the school; you transform the lives of the entire families and communities that surround those children. We will always be deeply grateful to CTC for the incredible way they have transformed our lives."

We are extremely grateful for your generosity of both donations and financial support over the past year. As a result of your kindness, we have been able to continue to support our special needs community and state-of-the-art program and facility.  We are now in our 21st school year and our program continues to strengthen and grow in new ways. Our enrollment is the highest to date and we are very fortunate to have partnered with new school districts, community partners and vendors who all share the same vision - to celebrate our students and provide as many resources necessary to support long-term progress and positive outcomes. Together, we are strong advocates and are making a difference in the lives of so many students and their families.
 
As CTC is a not-for-profit organization, we rely on fundraising and financial support for the advancement and expansion of our programming, technology, initiatives and new ideas.  Celebrate the Children has always been unique in our DIR Methodology, curriculums and developmental lens. We have always emphasized what our students can do and are capable of, rather than zeroing in on the deficit. We are a strength-based model and will continue to strive and advocate for every student at CTC.
 
This school year, our focus is on positive growth and mindset using the tenets of Connect, Inspire and Grow. As a community, we have embraced this in word and action

We are truly grateful if you would donate to our year-end appeal.
