No, the individualized programming is built with various activities that allow our clients to move around the Centre and even do activities outdoors, depending on the needs and preferences of the client. We are intentional with the space we use and create engaging programs.
We currently don’t have a set schedule and adapt to the client’s preference and the needs of their family. We can easily modify the schedule with the best time for everyone.
It depends on your funding, but we can support your expectations and needs. We will consider your available hours and help you plan to maximize your child’s time.
