School History
Overview
I SMILE is an Institute for Special Minds Interacting in a Learning Environment.
We strive to help children with disabilities discover their true abilities and is given the opportunity to reach their greatest potential.
In response to the large demand for quality effective programs in South Florida, we began the Institute to help parents with young children with Autism.
Early intervention plays an important role, thus we enroll children as young as 2 years old to receive Applied Behavior Analysis services.
Specifically, we offer Verbal Behavior services which research has shown to yielded great results.
The Institute prides itself on the high quality staff as well as the low teacher to student ratio of 2-1.
The Marian Center was founded and incorporated in October of 1963 under the Archdiocese of Miami as a school for students with developmental disabilities.
The mission of the Marian Center is to educate, train and serve persons with a developmental disability and assist them to wholeness, pursuant to the dictates of the Gospel and of the Church's call to love, charity and Justice.
Our vision is that The Marian Center will become the recognized leader in providing a diverse spectrum of individually based quality services to persons with developmental disabilities and their families.
