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.

Our students blame themselves for not being able to read, but we assure them THEY are not the problem.
​
Today's curriculum is not doing its job. That's why we use a proven instructional approach that allows us to teach all people to read.
​
We also know that people with dyslexia are not able to learn how to read, write, and spell in large classes. To combat this, we keep 1:4 teacher to student ratios.
​
Lastly, people who have dyslexia need to be in environments in which they are:
​
-
Allowed to discover new learning
-
Allowed to fully experience learning
-
Listened to while making connectections, asking questions, etc
We take children from feeling "dumb," to KNOWING they're smart.

A school created to give students confidence to learn without failure.
We have a specific mission: empower children by teaching them to read, write and spell. These are the foundations of learning.
​
Upon mastering these skills, children are set-up for a life full of learning.
​
Learning to read is the difference between high and low self-esteem.
​
When students come to us, they are shattered. When they leave, they are confident and prepared to take on the world.
