Preschool PALS is our Play and Learn Success Group for children with Disabilities, ages 3-5.
Children attend group sessions every other Saturday morning from 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM. When this session is full, we will have a second session from 10:45 AM - 12:45 PM. There are no more than 4 - 6 children with one instructor and several assistants.
* All sessions are 6 week commitments unless otherwise specified.
Preschool PALS activities include, but are not limited to:
Circle Time with "Who's Here" introductions
Picking and singing songs either independently or assisted
Group dance activities
Calendar time
FACILITATED SOCIAL / PLAY TIME
We use a lot of visuals and communication assistance to help the children with their social language goals. Preschool PALS utilizes teen volunteers to help the children learn, grow, and achieve to the best of their potential.
Our instructor, Pam Beruk, holds Bachelor degrees in Child Development and Social Work as well as teaching certification in Special Education. She has worked with children with autism since 2001.
Due to the overwhelming success of our PALS Groups, we have expanded these programs and now offer 4 PALS Groups based on Age and Gender.
Explore these programs and see which is right for your child.
Our School Age PALS programs are pragmatic language based groups for children with disabilities.
