These play-based and child-led programs are no cost to the family and designed for young children, ages 12 months to 48 months. We build caregivers’ capacity to support their child’s skill development with strategies that may help their young children learn new skills and meet individual goals.

Families registered with OAP are selected and invited by the government agency to participate in this program. The Entry to School program was introduced as a bridge to kindergarten for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
