Interactive from A to Z
Each child’s learning objectives are monitored on a daily basis through comprehensive data collection systems. The children participate in 1:1 sessions as well as interactive group sessions depending on their specific need and how quickly they acquire new skills.
The goal of every program is for the child to be able to learn from his or her environment and to be exposed to the most nurturing setting possible in doing so.
