Description

The Play Way offers tailored services from our team of occupational therapists, speech pathologists, psychologists, and behaviour specialists. These services support your preschool with strategies grounded in neuroscience and child development. We provide access to our Hub, which includes programs, online modules, and digital resources covering areas such as emotional regulation, sensory regulation, motor development, language, routines, and transitions. Through our supportive community, your team can join live weekly sessions with specialists, fostering ongoing learning, collaboration, and practical guidance. Expected outcomes for this support are:
  • Increased milestone achievement: With targeted support, more children will reach key developmental norms across the 5 key areas of development, benefiting from strategies that promote their overall growth and well-being.
  • Increased educator confidence: Educators will gain access to practical, research-backed strategies, boosting their confidence in supporting children’s development and addressing a wide range of needs.
  • More supportive environments for all children: By implementing tailored approaches, preschools will create inclusive and nurturing environments that support children’s unique developmental needs, ensuring all children thrive.
  • Empowered families with knowledge: Families will gain the knowledge and confidence to implement strategies at home, working with educators to ensure consistent support across both home and preschool environments.
