Time is spent both in the classroom, and in our sensory-motor gym and art room.
For our Full Day Kindergarteners, the morning is focused on the therapeutic component and the afternoon includes academics. Children bring lunches for a Lunch Bunch midday that can incorporate any feeding goals.
All Kinder Buds groups are insurance eligible. The full day option is tuition-based, but portions of the day are insurance eligible, as well.
