Agency Name: Play Pals Preschool

Description: As a Reggio-inspired program, PlayPals creates co-learning environments where teachers have a lateral relationship with children rather than a hierarchical one. In addition to a teaching curriculum that views all children as competent and capable learners and individuals, we are firm believers that it is a child’s right to be a part of an inclusive setting. For neurotypical children, studies indicate increased empathy and compassion for those around them, while outcomes for children with developmental delays include increased language development and social skills. We find it incredibly important to reinforce the different milestones within social and emotional development and kindness with others. Onsite speech and occupational therapy services will be offered to students who require additional support. Tuition vouchers welcome! Research has shown that in the field of early education, inclusion settings benefit children with and without special needs.
