Our therapeutic preschool program is offered in the mornings, five days a week, from 9:00am to 12:00, in four 10-week sessions during the school year. It is followed by an eight week summer camp program. Children must be at least 2.5 years old to attend and demonstrate a clinical readiness to participate in this therapeutically intensive program.
Black Bear offers unique experiences that allow students to learn and grow in their communication, cognitive, and social-pragmatic skills while incorporating free play, art, motor planning, music, sensory, and academic activities. Our goal is to increase the least restrictive environment prior to beginning a first grade program. We offer a teacher to student ratio of 1:3 and a limit of six students per class. Students typically have a variety of intervention needs and classes address areas of skill such as speech and language, auditory processing, sensory integration, motor planning, feeding, play skills, and social pragmatics.
We work closely with other professionals with the goal of creating a cohesive treatment approach and integrating services so as to maximize the benefits of each therapy service provided in both a 1:1 and small classroom environment.
