Early Intervention Services
Small Set educators and volunteers are committed to creating an inclusive classroom and are ready to adapt to meet the needs of every child.
The nursery school works in partnership with a variety of community supports and services that support early childhood intervention services in Simcoe County. We strive to connect families to those community supports and services.
The County of Simcoe provides the early years system with funding to support quality inclusion practices. The intention of these practices is to promote and sustain meaningful engagement of children with special needs in early learning environments.
Resource Consultants resourced through the County of Simcoe and provided by CLH Developmental Support Services are a dedicated team of child developmental specialists who work alongside educators to support the inclusion of children with special needs in licensed child care settings. Children are supported to enable them to actively and meaningfully participate in child care and early years programs.
Early intervention services and professionals include speech and language pathology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and medical supply/equipment. Small Set educators are able to assist families when seeking referrals for Resource Consultants for in class support.
Children in our program who have specific needs and require supports will have an Individualized Support Plan (ISP) that is collaboratively created by families and educators. The ISP will be shared with all staff and volunteers and reviewed and revised as needed.
We encourage you to share any concerns about your child’s development with his/her teacher. Research tells us, the earlier a child receives intervention, the better the outcome. We want to help your child be as ready as possible for kindergarten.
