We trust you are keeping cool this summer! As most of you know we moved into a professional building in March of this year. While there is always more to do we are ready to invite all of you to come see our new work place. We are celebrating this move with some special activities all through the month of August. See the attached flier.

With the move, we have changed our name from Master Enterprises Learning Center to Center for Neuro Development. We continue to offer services (classes, testing and consultation) to homeschoolers and are adding more services for families who face learning challenges. We are keeping Special Helps and Homeschool Helps so it is either Homeschool Helps @ Center for Neuro Development OR Special Helps @ Center for Neuro Development.
Also, we have a new mailing address: P.O. Box 99369 Lakewood, Washington 98496-0369
Our physical address is: 8907 C Gravelly Lake Drive SW Lakewood, Washington 98499
