Real-world social skills.
Your child practises sharing, turn-taking, and communication with peers as it happens — not in a role-play, but in the moment.
Support that follows your child into the room where they learn and play.
Daycare is often where a child's earliest social moments unfold — sharing toys, taking turns, following a group routine, making that first friend. Our ABA therapy at daycare helps children with autism take part in those moments with confidence, right in the setting where they naturally happen. A trained therapist works alongside your child during their day, turning everyday routines into meaningful learning opportunities.
ABA therapy at daycare is a supportive model where a behaviour therapist joins your child in their childcare or preschool environment. Rather than practising skills in isolation, your child builds them in real time — with real peers, real toys, and the real routines of a busy daycare room. This is one of the most effective ways to help skills carry over into everyday life, because your child learns them exactly where they'll use them.
Every program is designed and overseen by a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) and shaped around your child's individual goals, so the support they receive at daycare connects seamlessly with their broader ABA plan.
Your child practises sharing, turn-taking, and communication with peers as it happens — not in a role-play, but in the moment.
We help your child navigate transitions, group activities, circle time, and the flow of the daycare day.
Learning in the natural environment makes new abilities far more likely to generalize to home, school, and community.
We collaborate with daycare educators so everyone around your child is working toward the same goals, consistently.
For young children, daycare support builds the social and communication groundwork that makes the move to kindergarten easier.
We start by getting to know your child, your goals, and the daycare environment. With your consent, we connect with the daycare to understand their routines and how we can best fit in.
Your BCBA creates a tailored plan targeting the skills that matter most in a group setting — communication, play, following instructions, and managing transitions.
A therapist works with your child during their daycare day, guiding them through activities and coaching skills in the moment, while partnering with educators.
We track progress with data, share updates with you, and adjust the plan as your child develops — celebrating every milestone along the way.
In-daycare ABA therapy is often a great fit for young children with autism who attend a childcare centre or preschool and would benefit from extra support with social interaction, communication, or group routines. Whether your child is newly diagnosed or already receiving therapy, we can build daycare support into a plan that meets them where they are.
If you're unsure, a quick conversation with our team is the easiest way to find out.
Yes. With your permission, we partner with your child's daycare educators to align on goals and routines, so support is consistent and the whole team is working together.
Not at all — quite the opposite. Our therapists blend into the natural flow of the room, supporting your child through the activities that are already happening rather than pulling them away from them.
