Our Developmental Day School is our longest running program. It provides a comprehensive educational and therapeutic program for children ages 3-12 who have multiple disabilities, moderate to severe developmental delay, complex care needs or medical needs. We are licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

We strive to provide our non-traditional learners with a typical school experience. We offer a stimulating classroom setting combined with an individualized approach to learning within the state’s framework of curriculum. In addition to varied learning opportunities, we provide other enrichment within our program such as, music therapy, pet therapy visits from the Andover Librarian and many guest speakers who volunteer to read to our students.
Our goal is to work together as a team with families and school districts to provide an exceptional educational program that maximizes each student’s independence, unique learning needs and help them achieve their greatest potential.
