Programme 1 – Acorn
35-Minute Session
- Intensive Play: This technique involves mirroring and copying a child’s actions, sounds and facial expressions in a fun-filled interactive way. Through this fun-filled exchange, learners' attention, language development, and social communication skills are nurtured in a natural and engaging manner.
- Curiosity Programme (G. Davis): This strategy is designed to spark curiosity and ignite imagination, helping learners to explore and develop their social interaction skills. By encouraging curiosity and creativity

Programme 2 – Seedling
45-Minute Session

- Communication Activities: The activities are design to help learners understand and express similarities and differences. They may incorporate rhymes, songs with actions, Makaton signs and symbols, which learners are required to sort, choose, and describe. These activities promote verbal and non- verbal communication skills, promoting an understanding of language while supporting expressive and receptive communication.
Programme 3 – Sapling
45-Minute Session
- Sensory Play: This approach encompass activities designed to stimulate our senses such as touch, smell, sight, and hearing. Through these experiences students enhance their sensory awareness to develop proprioception/kinaesthetic, and body awareness.

These activities encourage strength, flexibility and movement control, which are fundamental to a children’s physical and motor development.
Programme 4 – Small Oak Tree
