Nope! Any kids aged 4–7 who would benefit from communication support are welcome.
We keep our groups small – up to 5 kids only, so each kid receives plenty of individual attention from our two SLTs.
How is this different from a regular playgroup?Ms Shi Rou and Ms Hazel, our licensed SLTs, design every activity to build specific communication skills. We play with a purpose!
What if my kid is very shy or has challenging behaviors?With small group sizes and experienced SLTs, we are able to support a wide range of needs. Feel free to reach out to discuss your kid’s specific concerns.
Do parents need to be in the session?
This playgroup encourages independence, so parents don’t need to stay during sessions. We will keep you updated with handouts and may ask for a little help preparing simple items like family photos or snacks for your kid.
Can I observe?As we have a small space, this is a drop-off and pick-up programme. However, you are very welcome to come in at the end of each session to catch up with our therapists about your kid’s progress.
How do I know if my kid is ready?We will conduct a brief screening before enrolment to make sure the group is a good fit. Generally, kids should have a functional language level of around 2.5–3 years and be able to take part in small group activities.
What if my kid needs to miss a session?Please let us know as early as you can. While we are unable to offer makeup sessions, we will share materials and handouts so you can continue supporting your kid at home.
Will you send photos?Yes! With your consent, we will take photos during activities and share them with you via WhatsApp.
What if my kid doesn’t want to participate in an activity?That’s completely okay. We gently encourage participation, but never force it. Kids are welcome to observe until they feel ready to join in.
Can siblings attend?To keep the group focused and comfortable for everyone, sessions are for enrolled kids only, so siblings won’t be able to attend.
What if I’m running late for pick-up?Just drop us a call or message to let us know. We will make sure your kid is comfortable while waiting. Do note that repeated late pick-ups may affect your kid’s overall experience.
How will I know what my child has learned?We will keep you updated with handouts and brief check-ins, and you will likely start to notice changes in your kid’s communication at home too.
What happens after the 8 weeks?We plan to run additional groups, and we will share more details about upcoming sessions and next steps as the programme progresses.
