At Little Camelot Nursery School you will find a unique approach where, we as a main stream school, offer various programs dependent on the developmental needs of the child. We value a family-centered environment and social-emotional integration mixed with the focused instruction of a small class to allow learners to thrive in this rich atmosphere. We also prioritize whole-child and holistic learning in a fun, safe, and secure program. Here learners are free, through facilitated play, to explore and learn throughout the school day along with a balance of structured, theme-based learning opportunities.
Our program for learners with individual needs includes:
A Full-day program with a maximum of 8 learners per class. 1 teacher and 1 assistant present the interactive daily program. Our on-site occupational and speech therapists offer weekly group therapy sessions and are also available to present further individual therapy as arranged privately with each family. Weekly equine therapy sessions are also included in the monthly fee.
A two day assessment is compulsory before registration. These assessments are conducted by both the school and the therapists. A group decision is made with the parents, therapist and teachers regarding placement and the unique further intervention needed. Thereafter the registration process commences and learners are able to start attending classes.
We accommodate the following learners:
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Down's Syndrome
- ADHD/ADD
- Variety of developmental delay diagnoses
- Sensory Integration Difficulties
- Language impairments
