Therapeutic Playschool
Helping Children Thrive Through Play
Our Therapeutic Playschool is a unique preschool readiness program designed and led by pediatric occupational therapists. Through engaging, play-based activities in a small group setting, children develop the confidence, self-regulation, social skills, motor abilities, and independence they need to thrive in preschool and beyond.
Every activity is thoughtfully designed to support each child’s development while making learning fun, meaningful, and successful.
Is Therapeutic Playschool Right For Your Child
This program may be a good fit for children who are working on:
- Difficulty with transitions or changes in routine
- Social interaction and peer play skills
- Sensory processing differences
- Fine motor or gross motor delays
- Following directions and participating in group activities
- Emotional regulation and confidence
- Preschool readiness and independence
What Makes Our Program Different?
Small Group Setting
Children receive individualized support while learning and playing with peers.
Led by Pediatric Occupational Therapists
Activities are designed to support regulation, motor development, social participation, and confidence.
Play-Based Learning
Children learn through movement, sensory play, pretend play, art, music, and hands-on activities.
What Your Child Will Experience
Each day is thoughtfully planned to promote learning, confidence, and independence through fun, meaningful experiences. Children participate in circle time, sensory play, fine motor activities, gross motor play, arts and crafts, music and movement, imaginative play, social skills practice, and preschool readiness activities – all within a supportive, small-group environment.
Our small groups provide children with opportunities to build friendships, practice communication, and gain confidence in a fun, supportive environment where every child is encouraged to succeed.
