Furry friends make school days better! 🐾

There’s nothing like a little puppy love to bring extra smiles, comfort, and joy to our students’ day. Moments like these remind us how powerful connection can be—whether it comes from a teacher, a friend, or a four-legged visitor. ❤️

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to our incredible Mrs. Tracey Owens! 💙✨

Since joining our Newport campus at 8020 Learning for Autism, Tracey has brought so many fresh ideas, creativity, and passion to our program. Her love and empathy for each student shines through in everything she does. She has a beautiful way of encouraging our students to work through challenges while continually motivating them toward success and independence.

The patience, compassion, and dedication she pours into her classroom each day does not go unnoticed. We are beyond grateful for the impact she makes on our students, families, and staff. Thank you, Mrs. Tracey, for loving our kids so well and helping them grow every single day! 🍎📚✨

It’s teacher appreciation week! ❤️
Employee spotlight: Chelsea Rupard

At 8020 Learning for Autism, we are incredibly blessed to have educators who pour their hearts into the lives of our students every single day — and Mrs. Chelsea is truly one of those extraordinary individuals. ✨

Mrs. Chelsea’s compassion, patience, and unwavering dedication to her students are nothing short of inspiring. She shows up each day with a smile on her face, a heart full of love, and a passion for helping every child reach their fullest potential. Her ability to motivate, encourage, and guide students through challenges while creating a safe and nurturing learning environment is absolutely beautiful to witness.

Watching her students grow this year — especially seeing many begin reading and thriving academically — has been one of the greatest blessings. The excitement, confidence, and progress happening inside her classroom speak volumes about the commitment and care she pours into her work daily.

Mrs. Chelsea, thank you for the difference you make in the lives of our students and families. Your dedication does not go unnoticed, and we are beyond proud to have you as part of the 8020 family. 💙📚✨

We had the BEST day at our field trip to Jackson Farm! 🌾💛

Both our Newport and Jonesboro campuses came together for such a special experience, and it truly reflected what 8020 Learning is all about—connection, compassion, and community. Our staff showed up in the most incredible way, providing support, engagement, and genuine care for every child throughout the day.

We loved getting to spend meaningful time not only with our students, but also with our families. Moments like these remind us how powerful it is when we all come together for our kids.

I am beyond proud of our team—you represent 8020 with excellence, heart, and professionalism every single day. 👏

Thank you to our families for trusting us and sharing this day with us. We are so grateful for each of you! 💛

April is occupational therapy month! ❤️

To our amazing OT team at 8020—thank you for the way you meet every child where they are and help them grow beyond what they thought possible. Your work may look like play to some, but we know it’s life-changing.

Because of you, our students are gaining independence, confidence, and skills that will serve them for a lifetime. We see you, we appreciate you, and we celebrate you!
