Supported Early Intervention Playgroup
Help Your Special Star Shine
A supportive playgroup where your child will feel special.
Does your child blossom in a nurturing environment but struggle in larger social settings?
At Kids First Children’s Services, we understand the unique challenges faced by families with young children who have developmental delays, social communication difficulties, or disabilities.
You want them to experience the joy of play, develop essential skills, and make friends – but traditional playgroups might feel overwhelming.
As a parent, you want to feel like you belong too! Wouldn’t it be nice to make connections with other families who understand the journey you’re on?
And wouldn’t it be great to have the regular, caring support of a team of early intervention specialists whose focus is on supporting you and your family?
Introducing Supported Playgroup, your answer for extended, inclusive, and FUN learning for your child with additional needs!
Each session offers a variety of engaging, carefully planned activities to cater to different learning styles, including:
Fun Free Play
Structured Group Time
Songs and Story Time
Arts and Crafts
Sensory Play
Snack Time
Music and Movement Time
Educational Games
