Designed to complement individual one-on-one sessions, our Early Childhood Social Therapy group program is an immersive 3-hour per day group experience that fortifies essential life skills for children. Balancing reinforced learning with the development of new competencies, this program is pivotal for facilitating your child’s smooth integration into broader educational and community settings.
Social Skills & Relationship Building: Social interactions are the crux of community involvement. Our program provides a supportive space to cultivate friendships and learn the subtleties of human connections.
Transitional Strategies: Adapting to change is challenging. We guide children through shifting activities and environments with grace and agility.
Engaged Learning: Active participation is key to absorption. We create group learning experiences to capture attention and encourage involvement.
Personal Independence: Essential self-care skills such as managing mealtimes and toileting are developed to reinforce the child’s autonomy.
Functional Cooperative Play: We share the joys of play while teaching the intricacies of cooperation and shared experiences with peers.
Running daily from 9 am to 12 pm, our program recommends that children attend two or three sessions per week and simultaneously engage in a mainstream childcare or preschool setting. This encourages the generalisation of newfound skills in a variety of contexts.
Leveraging the best of early childhood methodologies and the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), our beautiful social therapy spaces simulate a typical childcare settings with nuanced improvements:
Our CDI School Readiness Program (SRP) perfectly primes children with developmental delays, including ASD, for school. It enriches them with critical social skills and confidence for a secure and comfortable transition into their first year of school.
Our end goal is to instill a deep sense of belonging in your child, boost their confidence, promote appropriate interactions, and cultivate an enthusiasm for learning within a supportive context.
We adopt a play-based approach with targeted ESDM objectives, underpinning foundational group skills to ensure your child transitions smoothly into school life.
At our core, we champion each child’s individuality and potential. Through our focused programs, we aspire to partner with parents to pave a successful educational path for their children. Witness their triumph as they step forward into the realm of knowledge, relationships, and community with poise and self-assurance.
