About The Village: School of Abilities

At The Village: School of Abilities, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and inclusive educational environment tailored specifically for children with special needs. Our journey began with Carissa Carrillo, our Executive Director, who noticed a significant gap in resources for these exceptional children through her experience as an occupational therapist. After hearing countless heartfelt stories from parents and recognizing the urgent need in the community, Carissa envisioned a place where children with unique challenges could thrive.

At The Village: School of Abilities, we embrace a unique approach to education that incorporates faith-based teachings and Christian values. We believe that nurturing the mind, body, and spirit is essential for the growth and development of every child. Our dedicated team of educators and specialists works collaboratively to create individualized learning plans that equip our students for a brighter future—one filled with hope, confidence, and purpose.
