Our 5th grade son has been attending The Kineo school since Kindergarten. Here he has found a safe space to try new things always in his own time and be encouraged and supported throughout the process. All staff from teachers to administration are friendly and supportive, working together with families to provide students with the experience they need to thrive. I encourage you to consider this school for your child!

Both my kids attend Kineo and have thrived over the years. The teachers are very kind and loving - incredibly supportive. They focus on social-emotional learning, play-based learning, and meeting the kids where they're at. They have a very close working relationship with the parents and always have the kid's well-being in mind. Highly recommend!

A small school that supports children in learning at their own pace. The faculty includes masters-prepared experts on learning differences. The daily schedule supports the weekly curriculum but also builds in play and physical activity.
