Because no child is ordinary, every child deserves an extraordinary education


Does your child have passions or goals that are not being addressed in school? Is your child an actor or entertainer who requires a teacher around his/her schedule? Is your child an athlete who trains daily and would benefit from a tailor-made educational program and schedule? EMA provides education management for children ages 4 – 18, including tutoring & mentoring. They start with your child’s goals, create an educational plan aligned to those goals, then find and manage the resources needed to bring that plan to life. For information, call 818-522-4482 or visit www.educationmanagementagency.com.
