School Readiness Without Sacrificing the Child
The PHM Micro School is intentionally small. Small classes mean teachers actually know your child — their learning style, sensory triggers, emotional rhythms, and strengths. That knowledge translates into better teaching.
Children leave our Micro School with strong literacy and math skills, self-regulation, and the confidence to thrive at their next grade level. But more importantly, they leave knowing they are capable and loved.
For families with children who have autism, sensory processing differences, or developmental delays: this program was built with your child in mind.
What's Included Every Day
Early Literacy & Phonics
Structured daily reading instruction using phonics-based methods that build confident, capable readers by kindergarten.
Math Concepts & Problem Solving
Hands-on math activities that build number sense, counting, patterns, and early arithmetic — tailored to each child's pace.
Character Education
Daily lessons in kindness, integrity, self-regulation, and respect — values that carry children far beyond the classroom.
RBT-Trained Staff
Every classroom teacher holds RBT training. Evidence-based behavioral strategies are embedded naturally into every routine.
Sensory-Aware Scheduling
Transitions are managed carefully, visual schedules are used throughout the day, and the sensory room is always available.
Meals Provided
Nutritious breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack are included in tuition — no packing required.

Learning Moments
Heard from PHM Parents
"I toured 6 daycares in Seminole County. PHM was the only one that actually knew what RBT training meant and had a real sensory room — not just a corner with a beanbag. My son has been thriving here for 8 months."
Maria T.
Mom of 4-year-old with autism
"The Micro School got both my kids reading and doing real math before kindergarten. The teachers actually know their names, their moods, their quirks. It feels like a family, not a facility."
Jennifer L.
Mom of twins, ages 3 and 5
"Meals included, 6:30am open time, flexible scheduling, and my daughter came home singing every single day. I honestly can't say enough good things. The teachers here care deeply."
