Kids in Nature is designed to motivate kids to get outside and explore their physical world while sharing new experience with peers, encouraging physical activity and building fine motor, gross motor and social skills through play.
This program is facilitated by our Kinesiologist/ Transdisciplinary Therapist in consultation with our Occupational Therapist and Speech Language Pathologist.
The Lively Letters™ Program is a research-based and clinically proven reading program that turns plain, abstract letters and sounds into lively characters.
This multi-sensory approach incorporates physical movement, imagery, music, and mnemonic stories to engage your child when learning letter and sound associations in order for them have a good grip on the fundamentals that are necessary for reading and writing.
Babies need to have good posture to ensure their bones, muscles,
and joints develop in the right way. If the alignment of bones is not right, the muscles may try to overcompensate, leading to a lack of proper balance and
coordination. Proper posture is also important for the development of fine and gross motor skills.
This program is led by our Kinesiologist in consultation with our Occupational Therapist regarding your preemies' posture and development.
