Camino Nuevo faces the
challenge of operating in a region where there are no available programs that prepare teachers for working with special
needs children. Our mission is to create a team of specialized professionals
who are able to implement the educational standards of the model we have designed for our program. We look for creative, energetic,
positive and patient teachers who are willing to change and mold into a new program that will ensure optimal education opportunities
for our students. Camino Nuevo is currently training 10 teachers. Sponsor their learning
experience!
