WHAT WE PROVIDE

Our popular group programs

Your child may not be quite ready for a nursery program, school or day care. Or they may need a little more practice in group and social setting.  At KidsConnecting, we offer a variety of groups to meet the needs of our clients. 

In our groups, the ratio of children to adults is never more than 5:2, ensuring that your child gets the support and nurturing they deserve, while also enjoying social interactions with peers. Groups are run by an educator (ECE or teacher) and behaviour therapist so that our programming is well-rounded, developmentally sound and engaging. Social engagement, communication and play are our main focus. Independence, self-care and school readiness skills are taught at an age-appropriate level.

Fun with Friends

This fun and engaging program is designed for toddlers aged 2–3 who could benefit from extra guidance and practice in a small group setting. The group is never more than four children – ensuring that your child gets the support they deserve as they learn how to be part of a group. 

Through songs, games, and hands-on activities, we’ll nurture your child’s communication, social, play, and early learning skills. Each day also includes activities to build fine and gross motor abilities and simple self-care routines — all at a developmentally-appropriate pace.

Led by an experienced and caring team of an RBA and ECE, this program feels more like a nursery school than therapy — a place where your child can grow, connect, and shine.

With a maximum of six participants, every child gets the attention and support they need, which navigating being in a group of peers.
