Flexi-stander
Standing on 2 feet? A flexi-stander can bring a child at the level of their peers for $800.
What differentiates Silver Creek from other pre-schools is our specialized services delivered right in the pre-school classroom. Our therapeutic team consists of Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Music Therapy, Speech Pathology, as well as OTA/PTAssistant, and Communicative Disorder Assistant. (all part time). The cost of maintaining these services is crucial and expensive: over $120,000. These professionals are responsible for every new step a child takes, a word spoken, or sign language used; for eating independently to joyfully ringing a bell in music class, increasing self-esteem and expression.
To support the children in their physical and self help development a plethora of specialized equipment is used: standers, walkers, thera-togs, kinesio-tape, supportive seating systems, wheelchairs, specialized feeding equipment, therapy balls, gym equipment, adapted bikes, parallel bars, voice output devices, adapted computers, and musical instruments.
Testimonial
Silver Creek has been an incredibly special place for my daughter Madeleine. When she started at Silver Creek in September her speech was delayed and she was only able to say one word sentences and in only three months she has started stringing together short sentences which has been remarkable. Her doctor just saw her in December and couldn't believe how much progress she had made in such a short time and thinks her speech is now on target for a 2 1/2 year old. The staff at Silver Creek are some of the most gifted teachers that I have met and while showing such love and compassion for all their students, they also have the unique ability to push students out of their comfort zone to help them excel in all areas of development. Thank you just doesn't seem enough for all that your staff do everyday.
