Preparing Children for a Confident Start in School Life
At ShelterArms, we believe that every child’s educational journey begins with a strong foundation. Our School Readiness Program is specially designed to equip children with the essential skills needed for a smooth and confident transition into formal schooling. By focusing on early learning and social development, we help children become more independent, communicative, and classroom-ready.
Our early school readiness program combines one-on-one and small group sessions, using a multidisciplinary approach that supports each child’s unique developmental needs. Guided by experienced professionals, our program fosters key areas such as emotional regulation, language, motor skills, and social interaction.
Is Your Child Facing Challenges Adapting to School Settings?
Your child may benefit from our school readiness program if they:
- Are easily distracted or reluctant to engage in writing tasks
- Get upset when given structured tasks or expectations
- Depend on parents for daily self-care activities (e.g., dressing, wearing shoes)
- Have difficulty understanding or expressing language
- Struggle with social interactions (e.g., waiting for their turn, sharing, following rules)
- Avoid new activities or show limited play skills
- Show little interest in peers or joint attention tasks
- Feel overwhelmed in large group settings
- Don’t benefit from play school or regular preschool environments
Our Approach to Early Learning and Development
At ShelterArms, our early learning approach focuses on nurturing each child’s strengths while actively involving parents and schools. We work collaboratively to create inclusive and supportive environments that embrace each child’s individuality. Our holistic program not only prepares children for school but also helps them thrive socially and emotionally beyond the classroom.

As children grow, their needs become more specific. Our program supports children aged 5 to 12 through targeted intervention in areas such as:
- Language and communication
- Social interaction
- Emotional regulation
- Daily living and self-care skills
Tailored for Children with Developmental Needs:
Our early school readiness program is ideal for children with developmental concerns such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, dyspraxia, or delayed social/communication skills.
