Welcome to My Foundations Academy
My Foundations Academy located in Plano, TX, is a nurturing and therapeutic learning environment designed for children with developmental differences. My Foundations grows alongside each child, providing the support they need at every stage of their journey.
Owned and operated by a pediatric occupational therapist, our curriculum is designed to support each child's unique developmental journey. We emphasize individualized learning, foundational skill-building, and meaningful connections. We understand that no two children are alike, which is why we tailor goals to each student based on parent insights, comprehensive assessments, and ongoing observations.
We are a therapeutic learning center in North Dallas that helps neurodiverse children find joy in learning.
Through personalized learning plans, small class sizes, and a strong emphasis on relationship-building, we provide a nurturing space where children can build confidence, independence, and essential life skills.
Why Choose My Foundations Academy?
A Sensory-Based Approach to Learning
At My Foundations, we embrace a sensory-based approach to learning, ensuring that every child can learn in a way that feels natural and engaging to them. Our environment is thoughtfully designed with sensory-friendly spaces, adaptive tools, and hands-on activities that promote regulation, focus, and active participation. By incorporating movement, tactile experiences, and individualized sensory supports, we create an atmosphere where children feel safe, comfortable, and ready to learn. We also embrace a DIR approach that recognizes and supports each child's unique developmental needs. We meet children where they are and provide the necessary support and strategies to help them progress at their own pace.
