“All of (the staff at CLASS, Inc.) are wonderful. Thank you so much for working so well with Logan. His speech is improving daily. Because of the improved speech, he is enjoying school more and he is doing much better in spelling and reading. I like how you try hard to work around our schedule and how you treat Logan like a friend and you are happy to see him. You listen to what he has to say. You make him work hard, but he thinks he gets to come to speech and play!” 01/09/09, Kelly Bretz
Winter Closure:
We follow Federal Way School District closures for ice and snow - if Federal Way schools are closed, we are closed too. If you have a question, leave a message in our voice mail - we check it regularly.
