Tikvah Center Admissions

Mission
The Tikvah Center is dedicated to giving children on the autism spectrum the opportunity to reach their highest potential in a nurturing, child-centered environment with an individually designed program of learning. Additionally, as part of the Beth David community, our students will be taught to embrace the wisdom and faith of Judaism.

Vision

Our program, for children 5–7 years-of-age, promotes growth and development in each child’s academic, social-emotional, behavioral, ethical, and spiritual domain. Our specially trained teachers use a wide range of highly individualized, research-based intervention strategies to facilitate language acquisition, behavioral skills, and independence. The hope is that our program will build a bridge for our students to achieve inclusion in a typical classroom setting.
