This is an intense therapeutic group running four mornings per week. It is designed to address all aspects of your child’s development. Our curriculum is based on the Early Years Guidance from the Department of Education, UK. Your child will be assessed to formulate an individual teaching and therapeutic programme. They are subsequently reassessed in six month intervals. Your child is expected to attend with a parent and/or caregiver until staff members are confident that they have sufficiently settled and can attend independently.
