Headstart helps children get a jumpstart on their education. It is designed for children between the ages of 3½ to 5 who need communication and/or developmental support.

The program focuses on building skills in these areas:

• Communication
• Social development
• Physical development
• Psychological and emotional development

Headstart takes a dual approach in learning, offering both in-class and at-home support. In the classroom, hands-on activities and interactive learning make for a rich experience. Families are also given support on how to continue educational success at home.

Headstart is delivered by qualified staff and therapists. It is offered five days a week during the school year.
