our beginning

Everyone wants their child to experience success in life and most of all to be happy. When our founder Nicole Green's youngest child began to struggle in daycare that goal was far out of reach. Within that year here daughter was diagnosed with a developmental delay that required significant intervention, A year later her older son was challenged with both attention difficulties and reading on grade level, he later was diagnosed with ADHD. That year with the support of her husband KeDric she quit her job after 7 years working with students with disabilities in higher education. She then began teaching to focus on her family. It was in the classroom that she developed a love for teaching children! She did however find that many families fell through the cracks and were not receiving what they needed to have the equitable high-quality education they deserved. She realized that both her personal and professional background was leading her to serve families like hers in a different way. Thus the Learning Forward Education Center was founded to empower all families so our children and families can be successful and happy.
