The Kendall School is located in Modesto, California and serves children in Stanislaus and San Joaquin Counties. The Kendall School is a nonpublic school certified by the California Department of Education to provide center-based intensive early intervention to children 12 months - 5 years of age.

Children attending the The Kendall School receive intensive 1:1 intervention. Experience with typical peers is provided through The Kids Helping Kids Program at The Kendall School. When it is appropriate for the individual child, children enrolled in The Kendall School also participate in an off-site preschool with typically developing children as part of their intensive intervention program.

Children attending The Kendall School receive some portion of their intervention hours at home each month (usually 2 Saturday mornings each month). In addition, their parents work closely with school staff to promote generalization of skills from school to home. In addition to attending the bi-monthly staffings at The Kendall School for their child, each child's parents meet individually with school staff to select and develop functional and adaptive skills most meaningful for the family. These programs are then delivered by the parents in home and community settings, with consultation and support from school staff.

The Kendall School was established in 2001 and is named in honor of Kendall Leigh Sparkman. Kendall was born on August 24, 1990. She attended Fremont Open Plan Elementary School in Modesto.

Kendall's life was marked by her love of sports, dance, books, friends, and family. Kendall liked to write and some of her poetry is on display in the lobby of The Kendall School. She loved her family and friends a great deal and was much loved in return.

Kendall died suddenly when she was only 8 years old. But even at this young age, Kendall clearly enjoyed helping little children. She also wanted to make the world a better place.

We could have no better inspiration.
