What we believe

A different way to help every child move forward.

Start with the child.

 

We build the program around how your child learns—not the other way around.

Different is an advantage.

Inclusion isn’t an accommodation. Children grow alongside people who think and communicate differently.

Progress you can see.

We notice how each child learns and grows, so confidence and skills become visible over time.

Support, not labels.

Your child doesn’t need a diagnosis to need a different approach. We look at what helps, and start there.

Find their next place to grow

Start with what your child needs now.

Our story

Built for the way children actually learn, grow, and thrive.

swim classes in Hoboken

Every child deserves to feel understood—not compared, overlooked, or forced into an approach that was never designed for them. COMPASS began as a small learning pod for children who were struggling in traditional school settings.

In a close-knit, nurturing environment, we saw what became possible when children got the right support: they grew more confident, engaged, and willing to try.

 

Jordanna Spaulding’s work across special education, cognitive behavioral health, Applied Behavior Analysis, and play therapy shaped an approach that connects cognitive, emotional, and physical development.

That thinking grew from aquatics and camps into COMPASS Child Development. Across every program, the goal stays the same: understand the whole child, meet them where they are, and help them move forward with confidence.

I’m so proud of all you have done. I just want to really say thank you. Thank you for always caring. For always being up for the changes. For always making our kids feel some sort of normalcy and for making them sooo much better. I’m so grateful for you!

Thank you so much Jordanna. Krithi just LOVED the experience. She couldn't stop talking about it the whole weekend and so up for the class next week with Jordan again :)

We just celebrated my son’s 4th birthday at Compass, and it was AMAZING! My daughter has done the baby program there, and my son has taken swim lessons with them at Xcel, so I was confident it’d be great, but my expectations were blown away.
