"TCI's education program provides a full day, twelve month program for students starting at the age of three. TCI has an early intervention class for young students aged 3-5, and a primary class with students aged 5-12. These classes provide intensive 1:1 behavioral intervention services. In addition we have a transition class for young students aged 3-5 years who are being transitioned to mainstream educational placements. These students receive 3:1 intervention services. The Children's Institute participates in a mainstream transition program with an international school, and shares premises with that school. This enables a smooth transition for TCI students back to mainstreaming, when appropriate.... Educational clinics are held with teachers, parents and other family members to address any learning changes or concerns. This helps to provide consistency between the home and school environments."
