This year, we are excited to offer two sessions designed to engage your child in fun, multi-sensory learning experiences that build upon their growth from the previous school year while preparing them for the next. Session topics range from executive functioning training and school readiness to continued practice in core academic skills like reading, writing, and math. Our dedicated team of teachers and therapists at BBA will recommend individualized academic and/or therapeutic programming for one, or both, summer programming sessions, working alongside your family to craft the best programming schedule to meet your child’s needs and give them an exciting and safe summer to remember. 

Academic Summer Programming

With weekly themes and activities in art, sports, music, and STEM, your child will love coming every day. Our small-group sessions serve as an extension of your child’s academic school year and will give students individualized attention as they learn, grow, and play. Our team will recommend individualized programming schedules for each student following enrollment.

Therapeutic Summer Programming

Our therapeutic programming serves as an extension of your child’s academic school year with the same academic enrichment and push-in or pull-out support to help your child grow and thrive. Our team will recommend individualized schedules for each student following enrollment.

  Before Care and After Care are available



Business Review

I cannot say enough about my positive experience at Black Bear. As a psychologist, I heard such positive things about the school among other professionals in the field. As a parent, I was so grateful to be a part of the community and the feeling that your child is in good hands that you trust is the best feeling. When researching other options, you will not be able to find other teachers with this level of education, experience, care, and individual attention for your child. Whenever I check in with teachers and staff, I'm amazed at how well they know my child and their ideas and ways they meet his needs. There is constant communication and alignment on goals and most importantly, my child loves it there and feels loved there.- Sheila C

Black Bear provides an incredibly supportive environment for my child. The teachers are well-qualified and go above and beyond to meet my child's needs. I fully trust in Black Bear's staff, and I am so grateful that my child has the opportunity to take advantage of all of the programs and services that the school has to offer.- Kacie K

An amazing school-you won't find better. BBA has the best, brightest, warmest and caring staff. We are so fortunate to have found BBA. Thank you!- Roxanna S 

Black Bear has been such a wonderful place for our son to learn and grow. Their approach to learning is wholistic and looks to develop all aspects of a child, not just academically, to help develop well-adjusted kids. The teachers are warm, caring, involved and supportive. We are so happy to be part of the BBA community!- Katherine C
