Description: Jacob's Ladder is an SAIS-SACS accredited, SB-10 approved private school, serving students Pre-K through twelfth grade with any kind of neurological disorder - from Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy and Brain Injury to a range of learning disabilities and genetic disorders - although 60% of our students have been diagnosed with Autism. We offer adult services for stroke patients, and we also offer the Jacob's Ladder Model of Intervention in our Therapy Center on an hourly basis.
Grounded in science, guided by love, and delivered with an unwavering commitment to see beyond diagnoses, our intensive, individualized, research-based approach works.
Jacob's Ladder students regularly reach milestones once thought impossible. On a daily basis, we see nonverbal children grasp language, autistic children establish eye contact, and children who have struggled to learn take steps toward academic achievement.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

My son has been poorly looked after here. Every day they are allowing my well potty trained 3 year old son to have several accidents a day. They say he isn’t telling them when he has to potty but that can’t be true he tells me and family all the time rather we’re at home or out in public. I asked several times if they can just take him regularly around the lock and obviously that wasn’t done. His teacher constantly throw away his wet clothes and send him home in other kids clothes. Today the weather is 50 degrees and chilly and they send him out in a pull up in girl shorts. One they let my mom pick him up and didn’t even ask who she was and all he has on was a pull up and no pants at all. He also has had physically accident where no incident report was done and if one was done they couldn’t tell me what happened. One time he had a drop long bloody cut on his face. I document this all and talked to the dixtectir and teachers many of times. I even wrote it down. Nothing changed. They all kept saying my son needs to say something. Even if that is correct why is he afraid to say something to them
