TKidsTime is an exceptional program guided by the principle that learning occurs best when children are engaged socially, emotionally and intellectually by creating opportunities for learning that are natural, meaningful and purposeful.
Our program is a program for children under the age of 6, who need support with social interactions, language and communication, sensory processing abilities/managing behaviors to get ready for a traditional school setting.
TKidsTime focuses on understanding each child’s unique strengths and needs to design an individualized plan to maximize their participation and learning.
