Beyond expectations…
By: Ana Ente
ILLC takes care of our daughter beyond our expectation. Starting from the assisting kuyas at the school entrance, to the school admin personnel, up to the very energetic and creative teachers, we are so grateful to everybody in the school. Our daughter loves this school so much. We are thankful because she’s always excited to go to school to study. Thank you!
We made the right choice!

We learned about ILLC through our very supportive developmental pediatrician, Dr. Jack Herrin. At first, we were disappointed as we were ideally looking to enroll Enzo in another school closer to our home and also hoped for the good doctor to approve for Enzo to attend traditional schooling. I remember it was already May when we inquired and luckily we were still able to get that last slot. The staff and most especially the teachers are very accommodating. To our surprise, Enzo was able to adjust in as little as two weeks. An ordeal which we thought could take him a month long or even longer. But with the patience, love and understanding of the teachers and interns, he is now able to enjoy going to school. We are especially thrilled that “life skills” are incorporated into their lessons. It is because of this that we, as parents, know we made the right choice. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to T. Fresca, T. Karen, Kuya Rey and the interns for their unwavering patience, support and love to Enzo. We look forward to the next school year and many more years with ILLC.
Our ILLC Journey

To give your child the best education is to prepare him for life and that is the best gift I believe I could ever give my son Pablo. As Pablo’s needs were growing and changing, I sought a new school where his needs would be addressed and met. Transferring to ILLC is truly a good decision as I have seen my son adapt to a new environment and respond to the new challenges that he faced in his new school. Being around a group of kids that are like him has truly been good for him as he has learned how to be more sociable and act appropriately in a group setting. I am grateful for all the teachers and administration has done for my son and I can say that we truly feel at home here in ILLC. There is a great sense of community, which can really be felt especially during school events and activities. I look forward to the coming months and years where Pablo would develop and gain more independence and move closer to having an even better quality of life. Cheers to ILLC!
Pretty remarkable…

Apart from home, school is the next single most important place in our son’s life. Being diagnosed with ADHD when he was four years old, for us parents, it was difficult to understand and accept but we believe that God has a purpose as He entrusted Hadrick to our care. Attending a regular/traditional school and having OT sessions were challenging for him. The thought that he might lose interest in learning alarmed us. We learned about ILLC through paper advertisement posted outside our gate and without any hesitation, we set an appointment with Mr. David and gladly, we were convinced about what ILLC can offer to Hadrick. Hadrick’s first days in school was filled with enthusiasm and was pretty remarkable. He said he liked his classmates as well as his teachers. He shows eagerness in learning and is attentive and participative during class, most especially during their Pre-Vocational classes. I also observed that Hadrick is beginning to be more knowledgeable in fol lowing written instructions. We are grateful for the unwavering support, dedication and patience of all the wonderful people behind ILLC. Thumbs up to everyone!
Happy to be back in ILLC

Having two special children after our gifted first-born has not always been easy. Mood swings, tantrums and small battles are normal occurrences. Of course, on the brighter side, there are funny moments, unmatchable affection and simple life lessons on what really matters…each one reminding us of how blessed we are as their parents. Finding the right school for our only son (Jolo, with GDD) and our youngest (Luli, with PDD) used to be a big challenge. Jolo went through many schools including ILLC Wack-Wack before. With Luli, we tried a couple of special schools but did not see any significant progress. We also tried to homeschool her, while doing Kumon on the side. And while she was doing better than expected, we felt like the social aspect was lacking. At the urging of a friend, we decided to let her try ILLC last June 2016. In only 8 months, we noticed a dramatic improvement in Luli’s academic performance, social skills, and self-confidence. She now enjoys learning new things, has better self-control in public places, and loves meeting new people. Thanks to her ILLC teachers who tirelessly partner with us to guide and help her prepare for independent living! We’re so excited to see what else ILLC can help Luli achieve in the future!
