Gretchen and Jeanine, the Founders of Fundamental Learning Center, had no other choice but to do the work themselves. Their kiddos were struggling and nobody could help them.
​
There were anxiety attacks, tummy-ache calls from the nurse, and a lot of frustration and saddess.
​
After years of back-and-forth, it was clear was the only option was to do it themselves. Jeanine spent six years spending three weeks in Dallas, three weeks in Wichita so she could get the best possible training for her son, Cooper.
She didn't want any other parent to feel the way she did for so long - all kids deserve to get the help they need. So, in 2000 Fundamental Learning Center was created and the impact began.

The Billie Vliet Scholarship Fund
The Billie Vliet Scholarship Fund was created in loving memory of our therapist, Billie Vliet who worked for Phillips Fundamental Learning Center and Rolph Literacy Academy from 2006-2016.
​
Billie went through our teacher education program and lovingly changed many
lives. She always understood that learning to read should not be reserved for only families who could afford specialized education.
She taught Alphabetic Phonics and bonded with the students at Rolph Literacy Academy, changing our children's lives.
