What is The Sprouts Program
Sprouts is a play-based group therapy program for children 4-6 years old that are struggling with social-emotional challenges, or learning exceptionalities. Through play based activities we aim for learners to gain vital social, emotional and school readiness skills! Our program is facilitated by child and youth therapists and social workers with expertise in child development and play therapy. The sprouts program utilizes evidence-based strategies deriving from Developmental Psychology and Child Development to teach a variety of social-emotional learning goals. Our team has a play-based approach focusing on building connections with each child to ensure every child feels comfortable and supported in their learning environment!
