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.

Literacy Is the foundation of success

Our life revolves around reading and writing. If you can't do one or the other, success will not come to you easily.
To get a job, you have to be able to read the job description and fill out an application.
What would you do if you didn't have the ability to do either of those things?
You'd have to find another way to survive.
70% of inmates are illiterate
48% of those people are dyslexic
100% you can help
FACT: Wichita is the home of the ONLY accredited dyslexia training center in Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. #WichitaProud
Leading the country in education
Wichita is home to one of less than ten schools in the US that offers dyslexia training in a laboratory setting.
What does that mean?
The teachers we train don't just learn in the classroom. They observe our trained teachers working in the classroom. They get hands-on experience with our students. The teachers will see the change they will create before ever leaving our center.
