"1/3 of parents of children with disabilities reported difficulty in receiving special education services" (statcan) Our Story is one of Passion. Experience. Diligence. and is dedicated to John Cooper 1941 to 2015 In November of 2015, after many conversations with my dad, we discussed the possibility of starting a not-for-profit learning centre. I did not realize that this would be the last topic of conversation that I would have with him. Hence the John Cooper Learning Centre was founded. My passion was encouraged by my dad when he visited. This has given me the drive to continue and pursue my dream; to set up a learning centre for the children that are falling through the cracks in today’s education system. I want to build a legacy centred around the love and support of family that I have experienced and that has encouraged me to reach my potential. To be able to share this with families and the great children that will attend the John Cooper Learning Centre is the start of this legacy.
