Our Primary Programs
Early Enrichment Program
The Early Enrichment Program for 18 to 36-month old children is designed to stimulate development in the areas of language, fine and gross motor, social, emotional, and daily living skills. Since intellectual growth is most rapid from birth to 3 years of age and tapers off by the time the child enters grade school, early intervention is essential for children with developmental delays.
Activities include music, movement, and exploration of sensory modalities. These activities are adapted to meet the individual developmental needs of each child in conjunction with recommendations made by occupational, physical and speech therapists.
