Teaching Approach

Updated 6mo ago

Threshold Community Program describes its teaching philosophy as a therapeutic, relationship-based approach grounded in Stanley Greenspan’s DIR/Floortime model, with the belief that social-emotional development is foundational to academic learning, real-world success, and overall growth. It emphasizes individualized, flexible instruction that responds to each participant’s developmental profile, processing differences, goals, and interests, often using experiential and affinities-based learning within supportive peer communities.

Admissions

Updated 6mo ago

Threshold Community Program says applicants must first attend an information session, then complete an application, submit relevant reports and evaluations, and participate in an interview with the applicant and parents that includes a 1–2 hour visit with staff and other participants; families must email admin@thresholdcommunity.org for the online application link and submit a $250 application fee. (thresholdcommunity.org) The site’s only clear timing guidance is that enrollment usually happens before the beginning of the program year, although applicants may also be admitted during the year if a vacancy exists. (thresholdcommunity.org) I did not find a posted admissions deadline, a current admissions calendar, or current information-session dates; the contact form still references "Fall 2021," which appears outdated. (thresholdcommunity.org) I also did not find any published waitlist policy or admissions priority categories on the website. (thresholdcommunity.org) One important current note: Threshold published a November 24, 2025 press release stating that its full-day, full-year program will close in June 2026 and shift to a more flexible service model, so families should confirm current availability directly with the program.
