Our Background

Founded in 1971 by behavioral psychologist Dr. Laura Phillips, and located in Alameda since 1984, CLC was created to provide an alternative placement for children whose educational needs were not met in public schools. After becoming a state-certified, non-public school, CLC began working collaboratively with the public school districts to serve their more complex students. Though continuously expanding services, CLC has remained small, ensuring quality programs and a nurturing environment.


The Program

Children's Learning Center offers a consistently positive environment, highly individualized educational and behavioral programming and a dedicated, well-trained staff, all of which make it possible for even the most challenging children to achieve progress. By blending data-based behavior analysis with sincere care and concern for each individual child, CLC has created a unique family-like atmosphere where all children can learn and grow. CLC offers two programs:

Elementary School
Middle and High School


Services

  • Individualized academic, vocational, social and emotional programs
  • Individual, group and family counseling
  • Speech. language and occupational therapy as determined by IEP
  • Structured cooperative play and social skill development groups
  • Emphasis on effective transitioning of students back to public school programs or to independent living situations
  • Over 30 years experience in sucessful programs for the severely emotionally disturbed, learning disabled, autistic, Asperger's syndrome and developmentally delayed population.

Equal treatment and access to services are offered without regard to race, religion, gender, gender preference, or national origin.


Referral and Placement

Placement inquiries are often initiated by public schools, pediatricians, mental health professionals, community agencies, or by parents directly. Final placement is based on the mutual agreement of the referring school district, parents and CLC. CLC welcomes school visits by interested parents of special needs children. To arrange a visit, please call (510) 769-2322 for the Elementary School Program, or (510) 769-7100 for the Middle/High School Program.
