A Little Bit About Us...

Swan Learning Center began in response to the needs of children and families. Through the years, many families approached our Director, Jenny Beaumont, to ask for help with their children's education. Their needs ranged from help with math skills and reading comprehension to study skills classes for older students. Jenny also saw the need for enrichment programs designed to supplement a traditional education. Swan Learning Center was founded to meet the needs of students who would benefit from educational enrichment.

The environment at Swan Learning Center is open and friendly. We want each student to feel comfortable in the center and we actively create a positive atmosphere. The instructors are well trained in the Swan method and are chosen for their expertise and rapport with students.

Our students show excellent progress. On average, students grow at least a full grade level in only 40 hours of instruction. We are so confident of our programs we guarantee student growth.

Our first step with each new student is conducting a battery of diagnostic tests to identify skill gaps and we use that information to build personalized learning programs for each student.

Our dedicated team of specialists identifies skill gaps and teaches those skills to mastery. Each of our education teaching staff is certified. Our programs utilize a variety of teaching methods and materials designed to reach each student. In addition, we work with the school teacher or teachers to insure that progress at Swan transfers to the classroom. We offer programs in Emergent Reading, Developmental Reading, Foundation Math, Advance Math, Study Skills and Writing.
