Play-based therapy
We are strong believers that children learn best through play. Research shows that play supports positive attitudes towards learning and provides a strong foundation for practical skills and academic success. Evidence demonstrates that children learn new skills 20 times faster through play than through rote learning. Play provides children with a motivational and multimodal learning environment in which to safely engage with new knowledge and experiences.
Play is an essential part of childhood and is the natural way children learn. When children play, they:
Foster effective communication
Develop social skills
Develop cognitive, critical thinking, and motor skills
Grow in confidence and resilience
Learn creativity and problem-solving
We strive to make every therapy session fun, engaging, and tailored to the specific interests of every child we see.
