Prepare your preschooler for kindergarten success. Our program focuses on social skills, communication, and classroom readiness during these formative years. We understand that the jump to a structured classroom can be big. Our compassionate team helps bridge that gap by teaching "learning to learn" skills—like sitting for circle time, following group instructions, and playing cooperatively with friends—in a way that builds confidence and love for school.
Our preschool ABA program is designed to bridge the gap between early childhood and the school environment. For children with autism ages 3-5, this period is critical for developing the foundational skills needed for kindergarten success. Unlike traditional rigid therapy, our approach is dynamic, play-based, and focused on "learning to learn."
We focus heavily on instructional control and joint attention, teaching children how to learn from others, follow group instructions, and participate in shared activities. These are the "hidden curriculum" skills that neurotypical children often pick up naturally but autistic children may need explicit instruction to master. By working on these skills in a naturalistic preschool-like setting (or bringing that structure into your home), we prepare your child for the expectations of a classroom.
Social skills are also a major component. At this age, parallel play begins to shift towards associative and cooperative play. We facilitate opportunities for your child to practice sharing, turn-taking, and communicating with peers. Whether it's asking a friend for a toy, waiting for a turn on the slide, or following the rules of a simple game, every interaction is a learning opportunity tailored to your child's developmental level.
Yes! Many families combine preschool with ABA therapy. We offer flexible scheduling, including morning or afternoon sessions, to complement their school day. We can also collaborate with your child's preschool teachers (with permission) to ensure strategies are consistent across both environments.
Kindergarten readiness isn't just knowing ABCs. It involves the behavioral skills needed to learn in a group: sitting for a story, waiting for a turn, lining up, and managing big feelings when frustrated. These foundational skills are often the biggest predictors of early school success for children with autism.
Yes, toilet training is a common goal for this age group. We use positive reinforcement approaches to help children recognize bodily cues and become independent with toileting routines. We work closely with parents to create a consistent plan for home and clinic.
