Paws & Progress

This summer, we’re excited to offer a series of specialized, small-group classes that run separately from our main classroom and are intentionally designed with our fully trained dog (Sedona) with therapy dog support.

While our core SOLAAR program continues as usual, Paws & Progress sessions will be scheduled at specific times throughout the week, giving students the opportunity to step into a calmer, more focused environment where they can build both social- emotional and academic skills with the added support of a trained therapy dog.

These sessions are designed to support:

• Emotional regulation

• Focus and attention

• Confidence and communication

• Anxiety reduction and overall well-being

Therapy dogs offer a unique kind of support. It is steady, nonjudgmental, and incredibly grounding. For many children, this creates a sense of safety that allows them to take risks, try new things, and engage more fully in learning and social interaction.

Paws & Progress is a structured opportunity for social, emotional, and academic growth.

We can’t wait to see the impact this brings to our students this summer
