Meet the Team
The team at Monarch Academy is expertly trained in Education, Social-Emotional Learning and the principles of Behavior Analysis. We regularly collaborate with our families, school districts and private therapists, and pride ourselves on our whole-child, whole-family approach. We believe “it takes village”, and have a committed, interdisciplinary team to meet the unique needs of our learners.
Along with the Executive and Managerial team below, Monarch Academy is supported by over 30 dedicated Learning Specialists, Registered Behavior Technicians and Paraprofessionals with diverse backgrounds. Our front-line team is integral to our innovative programming, and work with children in both 1:1 and small group settings.
We look forward to meeting you!
