Congratulations! Today is your day.


Hope is mastering Braille and now
speaks in complete sentences.
She dreams of becoming a "story-teller."
On July 27, 2011 Blind Children's Learning Center was abuzz with family and friends celebrating the Pre-K graduation and Kindergarten promotion of 19 incredible children from our Early Childhood Center (ECC).  Here are just a few of our shining stars.


Caiya wasn't a talker when she started school, but
now she is and verbalizes her needs.
She can write her name in Braille
and has learned to identify money. It's no surprise
she wants to grow up to be a banker!
















Maya is a charmer, as you can see.
She has mastered Braille and knows
all her letters. Maya is inquisitive and determined. She has decided she wants to be a doctor.

William is a sighted peer.
He's learned to read and excels in art.
He loves to dance and
teach his classmates his latest moves.
Yes, you guessed it -
he wants to be a DJ when he grows up.











A unique aspect of ECC
is the presence of sighted peers.
Sighted children learn alongside
children who are visually impaired.
