Let Me Be Me Learning Foundation
Empowering those who learn differently to see the world without limits, by embracing their extraordinary talents.
Special Educational Needs Learning in B.C
At Let Me Be Me Learning Foundation we believe there is a need for comprehensive services for children and youth who face barriers to education, culture and social/life skills. We provide these services to children and their families. Let Me Be Me offers a range of programs, each of which takes a holistic approach to learning. At the same time, these programs are individualized to meet the needs and hone the talents of each student.
The students in the Let Me Be Me Program are grounded in culture, sustainability and connected to the community. We provide part-time and full-time programming (gr K-12, with modified or adapted options), as well as after-school play groups (social skills), tutoring services and behavioral intervention. These programs develop social skills (through regular community outings, special activities, & role play) and life skills (through cooking, budgeting, laundry & personal care).

Let Me Be Me’s commitment and dedication to the children and parents that enter the learning centre is unsurpassed. As a parent when my son struggled every day in the public school system it was overwhelming. I wondered how to get the proper guidance he needed. It is very frustrating to know it just didn’t exist there. To find a facility like the Let Me Be Me Learning Foundation has been such a relief.
