Positive Prep
Our Positive Prep preschool readiness program provides a safe, supportive, play-based experience that fosters relationships, self-awareness, empathy, communication, and physical development. Help your child prepare for successful school and community experiences.
As part of our broader curriculum, Positive Prep is tailored to complement the Core Developmental Care Program. It is not provided as a stand-alone service; instead, it is prescribed based on careful assessment of each child's individual needs to ensure a well-rounded and effective developmental support system.

Additional services
As part of our broader curriculum, our additional services are offered to complement the Core Developmental Care Program as prescribed by your child's care team.
Mental Health

Speech & Language
Includes communication and the expression of needs and emotions. Communication can be verbal or nonverbal and we aim to improve both.
Occupational
How the child interacts with the world around them via emotional regulation, sensory processing, motor skills and planning. Our goal is to make daily life easier.
Feeding Therapy
At Positive Development, we use fun, non-stressful activities to help children with eating difficulties develop healthy habits.
