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.
