History
Baywood Learning Center launched in 2007. As an evolving program, it took us a few years to discover what works best for highly and profoundly gifted learners. Thankfully, we were supported by some of the giants of the gifted community: legendary Dr. Annamarie Roeper, Dr. Linda K. Silverman, and Anne Beneventi. But it was the students themselves who gave us the most clear direction to follow.
Word of our success was getting out, and our community was growing. But about that same time, late in 2009, our founder and director sustained a traumatic brain injury. Our program closed temporarily while she recovered. In 2011 we decided to leave our small campus and prepare for an expansion, and in 2012 we reopened as Baywood Learning Centers. The plural "centers" reflects our multiple programs and community focus.
Recently, BLC has been operating as an enrichment program serving home-school families and public schools. Although we are still seeking our own facility, thanks to our Community Partners, we now have access to adequate learning spaces - including a forest! - to expand our program.
Now, for the first time in a few years, we are accepting some limited enrollment for our new programs! Seats are opening in each level one at a time, limited to 5 students per enrollment session. Please join our Yahoo announcement group to be notified of enrollment openings.
