Programmes for Children with Developmental Needs
At Sparkletots, we believe that each child is unique and deserves our full support, regardless of ability. Below is a short overview of programmes available that are inclusive of all children. For more additional information, please contact your centre principal.
How Sparkletots Supports Children with Developmental Needs
- Our teachers encourage appropriate behaviour through positive guidance.
- Our teachers teach and model pro-social behaviour. When children show appropriate behaviour, they’re commended and sometimes rewarded with stickers or time to play with their favourite toys.
- Our teachers teach calming exercises to children based on their age appropriateness.
- Our teachers review the children’s personal needs regularly.
What We Can Do for Children Who Display Recurring Challenging Behavior
- Our teachers will first observe and document the child’s behaviour to better understand the child’s needs.
- Our teachers will inform parents and develop a plan together, to help and support the child. Both teachers and parents will apply a consistent approach to guide the child’s behaviour both in school and at home.
- Our teachers may recommend children with persistent behaviour issues to be screened and observed by our Inclusive Education Team members who are all dedicated professionals.
- Our teachers may recommend Development/Learning support or an in-house support programme so as to engage the children better.
