We implement fun and interactive educational curriculum during Circle Time. Calendar, weather, songs/finger poems as well as letter & numeral recognition allow for learning to take place through individual and group interaction. Structured Activity Rotation allows for teacher directed or independent learning. Coming Soon!!! Art Therapy Art therapy can stimulate the mind of visually-motivated and/or hands-on learners. Participants will have the opportunity to use a variety of techniques and materials to assist in self-expression. Small group sessions allow for participants to express and bring feelings out. By nurturing the strengths and abilities of participants communication and artistic ability can be improved. This noninvasive approach is a positive way to assist in self-expression on one’s own terms in a safe environment with a highly qualified certified art therapist and clinical director. At the end of the six week session we will hold an art gallery displaying the art work of our participants. Drama Treatment by Design provides a program which is geared to provide a modified creative outlet to meet the unique needs of visually-motivated and/or hands-on learners. Participants will have the opportunity to be involved in a wide range of creative expression through the involvement of movement, storytelling, drama and dance.
