After repeating Grade 2, my son Daniel was still a non-reader, even though he had a fantastic support team at his school. That’s when we began our journey of finding help outside the traditional school system. We were led to Dr. George Gasek who suggested we take our son to the Lindamood Bell Learning Centre in San Luis Obispo, California. It was while Daniel was at this Centre that I trained in Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes® programs so that I could help him and other children who struggled.

When we returned to Nova Scotia, I became one of the first Reading Clinicians at Novaread in Halifax. Two years later, Dr. Gasek opened the first Mariposa Reading Centre in Truro, I was excited to be able to join him.

My position at Novaread and Mariposa gave me the opportunity to provide remedial programs to hundreds of students in Nova Scotia.

In March 2015, I was given the opportunity to open my own learning center, Foundations for Learning in Elmsdale NS. On June 1, 2017, I opened a second location at 30 Duke Street in Truro NS.

I am thrilled that I am still able to offer proven educational programs in the Colchester –  East Hants area. It warms my heart to know that I am providing a similar opportunity for today’s students that was provided to my son many years ago. It is such a rewarding experience to watch a child who is struggling, blossom into an academically stronger student and a more confident young person.
