School Readiness Program

Our School Readiness Program is a structured, comprehensive approach designed to prepare young children for their transition into formal education, whether preschool or kindergarten. We equip children with the academic foundations, social skills, and emotional confidence they need to thrive in a classroom environment. Through engaging, age-appropriate activities, we build the essential skills that help children feel prepared, capable, and excited about starting school, setting them up for long-term success.

Who Needs this Therapy

This program benefits children ages 3-5 preparing for preschool or kindergarten, especially those with developmental delays, speech or motor skill challenges, attention difficulties, or social anxiety. It’s ideal for any child who needs extra support to feel confident and ready for structured school environments.
