July 27-31, 2026
A one-week full-day advanced program for high ability learners in grades
Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 7
Location: Pike School, 34 Sunset Rock Road, Andover, Massachusetts
KITE 2026 Theme: “MYSTERIES AND MARVELS”
Cost: $550+ Extended Day options available
“Mysteries and Marvels” works beautifully as a theme for high-ability learners because it taps into their natural curiosity and love of big, open-ended questions. It’s broad enough to cover history, scienceu, literature, and creativity, while also giving room for deep dives and hands-on exploration.
WHO SHOULD COME TO KITE?
If your child grasps new concepts quickly and deeply, asks questions that show depth of understanding, often adds that “something extra” to a project, does not require any in-classroom support, seems motivated to explore new ideas, and/or spends time waiting for others to “catch up”... then we highly recommend that you try the KITE program this summer. Please feel free to call us at (978) 494-3978 or email kelsea@kaleidoscopekids.com any time to discuss your child and to determine whether the KITE program would be a good match.

Understanding Twice Exceptionality Facilitated Discussion Group

Kicks Off on Tues, Feb 3, 7-8pm PT

Meets: Feb 3, 10, 17, 24, 2026

Only 8 spots

Are you looking for an expert-led small group that fosters supportive conversations and provides personalized practical strategies that truly matter to you and your family? Whether you are new to a 2e diagnosis or continually wrestling with the complexities, this is the group for you.

What You’ll Gain:

• Expert Guidance: Our leader’s extensive background and innovative work reflect her deep commitment to creating inclusive and neurodivergent positive environments.

• Insightful Discussions: Understand twice-exceptionality (2e) and how it shapes learning, social, and emotional development. Explore why 2e children’s needs often go unnoticed or misunderstood and how to change this.

• Personalized Practical Tools: Learn strategies to address educational and parenting challenges, foster curiosity, and build supportive communities. Gain advocacy tools and strength-based approaches to leverage your child’s abilities and interests.

• Intimate Community: Connect with other parents facing similar challenges. Build lasting connections and share resources with parents who "get it."

What To Expect:

In these discussions, we will delve into the unique experiences of twice-exceptional (2e) kids—children with remarkable strengths alongside diagnoses like dyslexia, ADHD, autism, anxiety, slow processing speed, etc. These differences often present as challenges in traditional education and parenting systems and approaches. Together, we’ll explore how to better support our 2e kids by understanding and embracing their exceptional abilities while addressing possible barriers. 

Join a small, supportive group of parents who truly “get it”. Together, we’ll engage in a deep dive filled with interactive simulations, the latest research, neurodivergent-affirming best practices, and valuable resources. We’ll explore how these insights directly relate to you and your 2e child through open discussions, offering practical tools and a sense of community to help you navigate challenges and celebrate strengths.

Series Program Details at a Glance:

• Small Group: Limited to 8 participants.

• Duration: Four one-hour sessions (Tuesdays: Feb 3, 10, 17, 24, 2026).

• Time: 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM PST.

• Location: Zoom (Sessions will not be recorded to ensure privacy. Resources discussed will be shared after each session).

• Cost: $280 for the full four-week series.

• Registration: Registration closes Monday, 2/3/25, or when the group is full (first come first serve).
