Focus Areas
Developing Important Life Skills
The first 6 years of life are marked by a period of remarkable brain growth. The average size of a child’s brain reaches about 90% of adult brain size before the age of five. These early years offer a tremendous opportunity for parents to shape and maximise brain development and lay down the best foundations for future success.
The Symbiosis EIPIC® program is specially designed to develop the most important pre-academic cognitive brain skills during these early years. Here are a handful of other examples of these critical pre-academic skills, which we aim to develop in a child.
Facilitating expressive and receptive communication. Our focus is on building a strong foundation for language development, enabling children to express themselves and engage with the world around them
Stimulating cognitive development and perceptual abilities, providing children with the mental tools necessary for effective problem-solving, critical thinking, and successful learning experiences
Fostering positive social interactions and play, building crucial relationship foundations that contribute to a child's social development, both in and outside structured environments
Enhancing coordination and sensory awareness through targeted activities, promoting a robust mind-body connection that contributes to improved motor skills and overall sensory integration
Nurturing independence in daily activities, empowering children to develop essential self-help skills that foster confidence and autonomy, setting the stage for a more self-sufficient life
Cultivating a strong foundation in Emotional Regulation, guiding children to understand and manage emotions effectively, laying the groundwork for a resilient and emotionally healthy future

Curriculum and Schedule
Guiding Growth, One Structured Step at a Time
Curriculum
Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) was originally developed by Rogers and colleagues and encourages development in a variety of areas known to be affected in autism.
The Denver Model focuses on creating an effectively warm and rich environment to foster positive relationships between children and adults and approaches language development from a communication science orientation, emphasizing the social function of language (pragmatics) and the development of non-verbal communication and imitation as foundations for verbal language.
