Welcome 
 

Opening Fall 2025

The Heard Center is an alternative to traditional schooling with a focus on neurodivergent children and others who learn differently. Our center, in Marlborough, MA, is a community where children ages 6-10 are welcome to explore their interests in a child-led and self-directed manner. We provide an environment where differences are embraced and meaningfully supported. Here, we approach learning differently. When a child is losing their joy, isn't flourishing in a traditional school setting or simply cannot go, we focus on changing the environment, NOT the child.

Our Vision

The Heard Center envisions a future where neurodiversity-affirming, child-led, strengths-based exploration is accessible to every family, in a thoughtful environment that promotes autonomy and supports sensory, communication, motor and regulation differences.
