Getting ready to transition to school can be an exciting and daunting time. Our school readiness programs are designed to support your child in practicing and preparing the skills necessary to engage in the classroom such as:
- Emotional regulation
- Social communication
- Cognitive skills and planning
Using music to build these areas is highly motivating and fun! To find out more about what is involved in our school readiness programs, read this blog.
This group will include:

Our staff are experienced in supporting participants with a wide range of disabilities, and communication and sensory needs.
