Expectations
Participants begin on their own, meeting the classroom as a lone individual free to explore
as they interact with adults. When they return for group play, they are one of four in the
classroom, with groups alternating days. As the program progresses the groups come together to form a group of eight. The classes are supported by multiple team
members, specialists in early childhood education, behaviour, communication, motor
skills, and speech and language.
