Learning through Music and Motion

What the program is

​

Children participate in structured group activities built around music, movement, play, art, and daily routines. Individualized support is provided within the group setting so children can practice skills in a natural environment while receiving the support they need to be successful.

Children often do not realize they are working on skills because activities are designed to feel fun, engaging, and natural rather than clinical.

Children struggling with transitions, routines, or peer interaction
Children who are not quite ready for traditional preschool or who have struggled in other programs

• Transitioning between activities with support
   

• Following simple directions
   

• Increasing attention and engagement
   

• Building early social skills such as turn-taking, waiting, and peer interaction
   

• Expressing needs, wants, and emotions appropriately
   

• Developing emotional regulation and coping skills
   

• Increasing independence within daily activities
   

• Early school readiness skills including listening, sitting with a group, and structured play
   

 

How support is provided

​

Children receive individualized support while participating in a small group setting.

Support includes:

• • Each child will receive an Early Skills Overview Evaluation

• • 1:1 or close-ratio support within the group as needed

• • Activities adapted to each child’s skill level

• • Support for communication, regulation, participation, and independence

• • Consistent routines and clear expectations
   

The goal is to help children build confidence and gradually increase independence within a group environment.

 

What families will receive

​

Families are supported throughout the 6 week session with collaboration, communication, and guidance.

Families will receive:

• Ongoing communication about their child’s participation and progress
   

• Informal progress notes documenting observed growth and areas of focus
   

• Parent coaching with practical strategies to support skills at home and in the community
   

• Scheduled parent meetings during the program to review progress, discuss goals, and share strategies
   

  • Families enrolled two days per week will receive two parent meetings
     

  • Families enrolled one day per week will receive one parent meeting at the end of the program
     

• Guidance on routines, transitions, and support strategies
   

• End-of-program feedback with strengths, growth, and recommendations for next steps
   

Parent meetings are collaborative and supportive, providing time to ask questions and plan next steps.

 

Why a 6 week program

​

Six weeks allows children time to settle into routines, practice skills, and build confidence in a supportive setting while giving families clarity on what supports may be helpful moving forward.

This program is designed as a supportive bridge for children and families.
