The Early Learning Program
The goals in Early Learning are to help parents accept and understand their child's disability and become comfortable in a teaching role.
PREP believes that parents are their child's most important teacher and play sessions are the best way to learn.
The morning starts with circle time where children learn to initiate and maintain eye contact, sit independently, request a turn, and imitate actions and sounds. Following circle time are structured play centers where each parent receives direct instruction on how to help children learn. Joyful learning is the goal and the smiles and laughter of tots and parents speaks to the PREP team's success.
