Why CST Academy
We Celebrate the Unique Learning Style of Every Child
CST Academy is a thriving therapeutic preschool and kindergarten program in Chicago. We offer a unique multidisciplinary approach that supports children in meeting pivotal developmental milestones. To embrace the needs of each child, the program is guided by top pediatric speech-language pathologists, special education teachers, board-certified behavior analysts, occupational therapists, and physical therapists.
With an unprecedented 3-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio, children receive individualized care to meet targeted goals in a range of areas, including communication, behavior, motor skills, feeding, social interaction, executive functioning skills, and academic readiness. Every component of our daily routine is rooted in evidence-based practices and diligently planned by a multidisciplinary team.
Parental collaboration is a critical aspect of early childhood development, so CST Academy parents receive daily communication from teachers summarizing their child’s participation in activities and progress notes.
