It&#8217;s the integration of typical peers and special needs kids that gives Kids World such a unique environment.<\/p>\n<p>When children with disabilities are surrounded by only other children with disabilities they never learn normal behavior. Having typical peers in the class helps every child grow and makes them\u00a0more compassionate towards each other.<\/p>\n<p>This private school is in Taylorsville Utah\u00a0and it is set up to make every child feel instantly at home. Brandon Francis earned a degree in Early Childhood Special Education from the University of Utah and his Masters in Education (M.Ed.) in K-12 special education from Grand Canyon University. For the last 18 years, his focus has been working with children that have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kids World Academy<\/strong> offers a low teacher to students ratio which allows each child, both special needs and typical, a good deal of one-on-one time with a teacher each day. <strong>Kids World Academy <\/strong>also uses a collaborative effort between the teachers and parents to address the specific educational needs of each child. <strong>Kids World Academy<\/strong> offers preschool, half\/full day kindergarten, and 1st through 6th grade\u00a0classes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kids World Academy<\/strong> also knows that it is not uncommon for special needs children to also require a special diet. In those cases, the school offers an appropriate alternative snack or lunch.<\/p>\n<p>Several teaching methods are incorporated in the daily routine at Kids World. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a method used to teach children with autism who are often quite capable of learning. The SCERTS Model (Social Communication, Emotional Regulation and Transactional Supports) maintains that everyday activities contain the most meaningful learning experiences during childhood.\u00a0 Both methods are found in practice at <strong> Kids World Academy<\/strong>. This private school also includes The Tomatis Method, music therapy, drum therapy and American Sign Language.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img src=\"http:\/\/utahdiscovery.com\/kidsworldacademy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2018\/06\/kids-world-academy-preschool-elementary-logo.png\" alt=\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\" itemprop=\"image\"  \/><\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tCall to Schedule a Tour!<br \/>\n\t<\/h2>\n<h2>\n\t\tCall to<br \/>Schedule a Tour!<br \/>\n\t<\/h2>\n<h3>\n\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/utahdiscovery.com\/play2learnacademy\/play2learn-daycare-center-layton\/\" title=\"Located in Taylorsville, Utah\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\tLocated in Taylorsville, Utah<br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><br \/>\n\t<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">1328 W 6170 South<br \/>\nTaylorsville, UT 84123<\/h3>\n<p>\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=1328+W+6170+South+Taylorsville%2C+UT+84123&#038;iwloc=near&#038;output=embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"250px\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 10px;\">(801) 243-4991<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Fax (801) 979-0871<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\tHours of Operation<br \/>\n\t<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 10px;\">Monday &#8211; Friday: 9:00 a.m. &#8211; 4:00 p.m.<\/h3>\n<h3>\n\t\tClosed<br \/>\n\t<\/h3>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">New Year&#8217;s Day \u2022 Memorial Day \u2022 Fourth Of July \u2022 Labor Day \u2022 Thanksgiving \u2022 Christmas<\/h4>\n<h2>\n\t\tSend Us a Message!<br \/>\n\t<\/h2>\n<h2>\n\t\tSend Us a Message!<br \/>\n\t<\/h2>\n<h3>\n\t\tThank you for your interest.
