KB Learning Center LLC will empower all students to embrace learning, achieve their personal best, and build their emotional, social, and physical well-being.
Our vision is to develop well rounded, confident and responsible individuals who aspire to achieve their full potential. We will do this by providing a welcoming, happy, safe, and supportive learning environment in which everyone is equal and all achievements are celebrated.
Do you feel as though your child has fallen behind on his/her academic skills this past year? Does your child learn better in a smaller group setting? Are you concerned that your child is not being enriched with the current school model? If you answered yes to any of those questions then KB Learning Center LLC is a place for your child. We are a team of certified teachers who are committed to the success of your child’s learning. We pride ourselves on being a community based academic center and focus much of our explicit teaching on social emotional learning.

KB Learning Center LLC offers K-12th grade students individualized instruction by certified educators to meet their academic needs in a small group explicit format.
We specialize in creating lessons around IEP and 504 accommodations that will show growth and success in your students. KB Learning Center LLC uses learning targets and success criteria to assess student learning outcomes from each lesson.
Learning targets are concrete goals written in student-friendly language that clearly describe what students will learn and be able to do by the end of a class.
A success criteria is a list of features that a teacher wants the children to include in their work during the course of a lesson. It is a really good way of making children aware of what is expected of them and can also encourage them to extend themselves during the course of the lesson.
