We offer limited sliding scale spots to families in need.
We have made the decision not to accept insurance as we strongly believe that every family deserves individualized, high-quality services that cater to their specific needs. In our experience, insurance companies often create obstacles that hinder families from accessing the support they rightfully deserve by imposing rigid guidelines on service provision. Furthermore, our holistic approach does not align with the insurance industry's focus on "treating disorders." We firmly believe that children do not require "fixing," and our work centers around fostering a sense of belonging, promoting connection, acceptance, and building collaborative relationships.

From The Blog:
In a world that constantly strives for conformity, celebrating neurodiversity is a crucial step toward fostering inclusivity and understanding. Neurodiversity acknowledges that there is a wide spectrum of neurological differences, and it emphasizes the value of embracing these diversities rather than trying to fit everyone into a single mold.
Autistic children should not be taught to be more “normal”. Autistic children deserve to be included in the same way all children do. True inclusion is about creating a community that values and holds differences in high regard.
When children play it helps them develop a wide range of cognitive and social skills that they will use for the rest of their lives. The stages of play are 6 developmental play stages that children go through during early childhood.
Joint attention is when two people are interested in an object, event, or something in the environment and there is an understanding that they are both interested in that thing. For example, a child may look at a toy, look at their parent and then look back at the toy. This shows that they are aware of and enjoy knowing their parent is looking at the same thing.
All children have different temperaments. Unfortunately, many educational settings are geared towards outgoing, extroverted children. As a therapist, kids yoga teacher and former preschool teacher I have seen this play out so often in classrooms I’ve been in. It’s easy to focus on the children who are commanding our attention and just as easy to overlook the child who is keeping to themselves.
Learning about color is an important part of a child’s development and is big milestone for preschoolers. True color recognition means that children are able to match, identify and name colors. Learning colors is an abstract concept that takes time. Learning colors follows a developmental progression that includes a variety of foundational skills that children need to master before they are able to truly understand color.
Children who have consistent routines are less anxious. Routines help you set clear and consistent boundaries and help you avoid power struggles. Having structure throughout the day is important. In particular having a simple and effective morning routine can set your whole day up for success. This means more time for connection and less meltdowns.
Signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD, usually appear by 2-3 years of age and it can be diagnosed even earlier in children. Developmental delays are often present prior to diagnoses. Although autism impacts individuals throughout their lifespan diagnoses and early intervention are important and lead to positive outcomes and improved quality of life for people with autism.
Teaching your child how to practice mindfulness when they are young will give them a tool they can carry through the rest of their lives. Children learn best through repetition and practicing mindfulness is no exception to this.
The act of play is more important than the outcome. Play is an essential aspect of early childhood development because it allows children to engage and interact with the world around them. It helps them discover new things and learn how their bodies work.
