Momma Phoenix ® is pleased to provide an afterschool program for neurodivergent students in grades K-8. In addition to providing tutoring in reading and math using evidence-based methods of instruction, we also have a rigorous arts program where students can express their unique perspectives through painting, music composition, poetry, sewing, theatre, and culinary arts.
