Committed to making a difference

One child at a time, one educational therapy technique at a time

Applying the Starfish method

There is a story written by Loren Eiseley that describes a young boy's attitude when a man questions the boy's intent on trying to save all the starfish before low tide. 

​

"The man laughed to himself and said, 'Do you realize there are miles of miles of miles of beach and hundreds of starfish?' 'You can’t make any difference.'"

​

"After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the surf, then smiling at the man, he said: 'I made a difference to that one.'"

​

At Joy in Learning Discovery Center, with all of our educational therapy and Woodcock-Johnson IV® Achievement Testing services, we engage with your child fundamentally believing that a difference can be made, no matter the challenge.
