Here at the Learning Collective, our number one mission is to help students that have trouble learning in a "traditional" classroom setting grow and thrive. 

We provide accommodating spaces and adapted methods for individualized learning, specifically designed for Neurodivergent students. 

Our two teachers have over 30 years of combined experience in the field of Early Childhood Education, Childcare and working with Neurodivergent children.

In addition, both instructors are parents of students with ADHD and ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) so they have a special understanding and appreciation for the way the minds of these incredible children work!

As the only facility of it’s kind, we are honored to be able to provide services for this demographic of students and serve the local homeschool community in this much needed and special way.

Reader's Theater (Ages 6-13) Mondays 1:00-3:00

Reader’s Theater is a collaborative strategy for developing oral
reading fluency through reading parts in scripts.
Students do not need to memorize their part but they will reread the script several times to build familiarity with the language and practice appropriate expression.

Why use reader’s theater?

• Students practice reading aloud, which helps improve fluency — the ability to read with accuracy, speed, and expression.

• By performing a script, students gain a deeper understanding of the text, characters, and plot.

• Reader’s theater involves collaboration — students work together to bring the script to life, fostering teamwork and communication skills.

• The interactive and dramatic nature of reader’s theater tends to engage students and make reading a more enjoyable experience.

• Participating in a performance boosts students’ confidence in public
speaking and presentation skills

“Students with personal copies can use them to follow along but will not be reading.”

Each day, students will actively participate in: 

-Group discussion of the novel

-Comprehensive questions answered aloud, handwritten, short answer, or fill in the blank.

-New vocabulary words from the chapter will be taught out loud but may also be reinforced using various worksheets.

Higher-order thinking will engage students in developing their own opinions and facilitate an environment for critical thinking to blossom.

Students of all ages are welcome however, they must be able to manage their bodies for the required time frame.

If students are not writing yet they can still participate but will have differentiated activities such as illustrating their thoughts or having a scribe dictate their thoughts.

Join us every Monday from 3:30-5:30 for a fun D&D campaign! 
*MUST KNOW HOW TO PLAY

Ages 9+

Free 

This is a drop off program 

There is a private group chat for all registered players; every week (on Monday morning) we will check in to see who can make it that afternoon. 

If less than 3 people can attend, the campaign will be canceled for that day. 

Once you complete your registration form, please reach out to let us know so that you can be added to the chat. (The link to contact us is attached to the registration form) 

Failure to contact us will lead to you not being added to the chat and result in missing important updates and information and we definitely don't want that to happen!

Disclaimer:  

One of our instructors generously donates their time and after teaching all day, stays an additional 2 hours in order to supervise the students. 

This is a free program that we offer so that students that enjoy playing D&D will have the opportunity to do so.

This is not daycare so we ask that you do not treat it as such. 

Because schedules can quickly change, things come up and there is always the possiblity that people drop out at the last minute, there is always a chance that the campaign could be canceled or rescheduled with very little notice. 

While we will always do our best to keep everyone updated and relay information as soon as possible, please do not rely on the club as a source of childcare; everyone must be flexible. 

Thanks so much and we look forward to seeing you soon! 


Frequently Asked Questions:

Where are you located?

For safety reasons, we do not give out the physical address to the classroom until a family has registered and paid. 


Instead, we use New Genesis Church as a reference point:

6985 Hiram Douglasville Hwy
Douglasville, GA 30134 

... from there, add about a mile. 

Can I come sit in on a class with my child?

Because safety is our top priority, the only adults allowed in the classroom with the children once class starts are those that have a current background check on file with the Paulding County Sheriff's Department. 



Can I enroll at any time?

Yep! As long as the class is not full, you can enroll at any time. 

Can I come take a tour?

We have a virtual tour video posted right above the FAQ section! 

Are your classes religious or secular?

We do not have any biblical studies and the students are not taught any religious material, however the instructors are believers and we do not prohibit the kids from expressing their religion/faith openly. 

Do you provide lunch?

Lunch is not provided; students are required to bring their own. 
We do have a freezer, refrigerator and microwave. 

Can I have more info on the teachers?

All 3 instructors are college graduates, veteran homeschool moms and combined have over 40 years worth of experience in the education and child care industry.

In addition, they have current background checks on file with the Paulding County Sheriffs Department so you can rest assured that your children will be with both experienced and vetted instructors!
