Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Cara Day
Family coaching
Family coaching is action-oriented guidance for parents who want to identify their highest values, individually and as a family, and live in greater alignment with those values. It’s for anyone who wants to establish a clear vision for themselves and their family–and see it come into reality. Coaching helps create more meaning and joy in life. Address pressing parenting dilemmas, heal childhood painbodies that may be affecting your current relationship and parenting skills, and step into new ways of being so you can feel happier and more engaged with life–and your family.
Social/Emotional and Life Skills
Our Manners First and Integrity curriculums are an integral part of our instruction. These lessons and skills help children get not only the first invitation, but the repeat invitation in life. We believe the most important achievement in life is being a person who lives an inspired life, shares deep connections with others, and serves a purpose dear to them. Learn about Family Coaching and help your children become their very best selves.

How to get started
EDUCATIONAL COACHING/TUTORING
The Day Prep teachers provide 1-to-1 instruction for all subjects and all ages. After the initial intake and assessment, an individualized learning plan is created. This includes a plan for balanced sleep, nutrition, and exercise as needed. Our teachers weave social/emotional coaching, as well as executive functioning skill development, into their instruction as appropriate.
Here is a description of some of the differences between tutoring and educational therapy.
Our services are offered at our location in La Jolla, Califo ia, or in the comfort of your home or child’s school.

Scope
Our services are for children with no specified learning disabilities who want academic and social coaching to get and remain on cutting edge of their education, as well as for those who have specific learning disabilities, including non-verbal learning disabilities, dysgraphia, dyslexia, hyperlexia, autism spectrum, challenges with executive functioning, auditory processing disorder, and ADD. In addition, we serve children with social/emotional disorders such as Pervasive Personality Disorder and Oppositional Defiance Disorder.
Reading, Writing, Arithmetic
Children are taught best practices for reading, writing, spelling, penmanship, and mathematics. Our strategies help create critical, habitual, passionate readers through directed reading-and-thinking activities which help children comprehend and retain information for school and personal use. School writing and creative writing are taught in a systematic way that is reproducible in any setting, creating authors who can write in any style and genre, and to any topic. Math standards include a 4-step process for problem-solving, as well as real world and number sense instruction, enabling students to understand math in the larger context of the world and science. We also provide intensive spelling, pencil grasp, and penmanship repair as needed. We begin these services with children at age 3, or jump in whenever you find out about us.
Report Card Rescue
We help students who have never received their dream report card get it. We also help those who have gotten off track get back in alignment with their academic goals. Collaboration with teachers, organizational skills, and hands-on support make the difference. Sometimes a student who normally achieves their desired grades hits a wall in a particular class because it is difficult for them or they are less interested in the subject. We are there to support the student so they can complete their school year at an optimum level, maintaining their GPA.
