Our Groups & Workshops
Our varied educational group and workshop options are designed to meet the needs of your whole family as well as your PCD student.
Toddler Playgroups
Our playgroups are for children aged 24 -36 months and focus on play and positive social interactions. We offer small class sizes and an integrated experience (with children from the community and our Early Intervention Program). This integration allows children to gain a greater acceptance for one another’s strengths, differences and abilities.
A child’s first opportunity for a positive educational experience, setting the stage for a life-long love of learning.
Drop-off playgroups for children ages 2-3 years old
Teacher / child ratio 1:3
Focused on play and positive social interactions
Children strengthen their sense of independence, preparing them for their future preschool experience
Our classroom staff is composed of teachers as well as a team of experts available for on-site consultation. These trained professionals include registered nurses, developmental specialists, speech and language pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, and feeding/oral motor specialists.
Integrated playgroups, with children from the community and from our Early Intervention Program, encourage children to learn acceptance and celebrate one another’s uniqueness and abilities.
