Innovative ways of engaging children with learning difficulties to learn and function better

Ways We Support

KidsReady (K1 to K2)

An intensive intervention programme that prepares children for primary school through building their literacy, numeracy and fine-motor abilities.

Special teaching methods include:

  • Learning through play
  • Multi-sensory teaching approach
  • Modification of instructional variables
  • Phonics/Pre-Phonics skills

Suitable for: Children attending preschool / Early Intervention Programme for Infants & Children (EIPIC) centres who need more support in literacy, numeracy, handwriting and fine motor skills

Sessions: Twice a week in small groups of no more than 5 children

KidsBright (K1 to P6)

KidsBright is a neuro-development programme to enhance cognitive functioning and learning ability. It is a medication-free alternative to help children learn better and faster in remedial classes. This programme includes a parent training component as well. We adopt a holistic approach to brain development using (1) Brain-stimulating movement exercise, (2) Dietary approach and (3) Mental exercise.

Suitable for: Children with learning disorders like ADHD, dyslexia, mild autism and other language, learning or processing issues to learn and function better

Sessions: Children attend weekly sessions in small groups of 3 to 5. Parents attend 3 parent training sessions throughout the 6-month programme.

Neuro-Developmental Movement Programme (K1 to P6)

A movement programme designed to improve the child‛s learning and functioning by addressing the underlying neuro-developmental delay. This programme is based on the Institute for Neuro Physiological Psychology (INPP) Method which has more than four decades of research, expertise and practice in helping children to resolve physical factors that cause learning and behavioural problems.

An assessment to evaluate the child’s neuro-motor maturity (which includes the functioning of balance, primitive reflexes and visual skills) will be conducted at the start of the programme. Through this assessment and analysis of the child, developmental movement exercises are devised for the child to carry out daily at home with parental involvement.

Suitable for: Children with learning disorders or developmental delays who require 1-1 setting due to the severity of their learning disorders, medical conditions or behavioural issues.

Sessions: 7 sessions are conducted at a two-months interval for each parent and child pair. This programme takes about a year to complete and is conducted by our principal educational therapist.

 

Consultation

We provide consultation to parents for their children’s learning and behavioural difficulties. By providing a holistic assessment, identifying underlying causal factors and recommending practical remediation actions, we aim to equip parents with skills and strategies to aid their child’s learning and development. 

We use effective and recognised methods from several fields — education, neurodevelopment, nutritional therapy, psychology — by taking an interdisciplinary approach.

Quotes

My family has seen big improvements in Jordan’s condition. He is now able to concentrate better in class and his social skills have also improved. Jordan has also become more confident in school, and has been making small but steady improvements. It gave my husband and me hope and helped us ease a part of our anxiety. 

As a parent, I really hope that he can develop independence and take care of himself. That’s what I want most for him.

After attending 9 months of ‘KidsReady‘ Programme for English and Math, my son has shown improvement in areas such as his handwriting, phonics, vocabulary and mathematics. He used to write some of the letters (eg. D/P/d/p) in the opposite direction. Now each alphabet is written correctly and more even-sized. He can also read out the phonics sounds and pronounce more words more accurately.

Thank you for your patience and for teaching my son to focus in class. After my son attended the ‘KidsReady’ Programme, I feel more at ease that my son is prepared for P1 next year. Really appreciate your teaching and efforts spent on my son.

Mdm Tan, mother of P1 boy attending ‘KidsReady’ programme 

Kevin has been with Care Corner since he was in K2. When he was diagnosed with dyslexia in P2, Care Corner never pushed him aside. The educators here patiently guide and support him with all the knowledge needed unconditionally. Building his confidence and skills to write and read are remarkable.

Watching him grow and develop in Care Corner was really emotional. I am proud to see his progress and achievements each year. From a child who used to throw tantrums every time we asked him to read and learn his spellings, he has now grown to be independent in finishing his homework on time. His passion to learn has also grown together in him. In P5, he was awarded ‘Best In Foundation Mathematics’ and this year, he was awarded ‘Best In Foundation Science’ and he ended his Primary School journey with great PSLE results.

Once again, I would like to extend thanks to all teaching staff who have taught Kevin from K2 till P6, of which I can recall, Ms Hazel and Ms Rebecca. Not forgetting all the non-teaching staff for all the support provided throughout 7 years.

Mother of Kevin (P6) who has been with Care Corner for 7 years
