So many families struggle to find the just-right place for their little ones. Waitlists for daycares can be months, if not years long. Schools in this current environment have the luxury of being quite selective. In addition, parents need their child to be successful in daycare for their child's wellbeing and the family's financial security. So, you have found the just-right daycare for your child, were patient through the waitlist, and now your child is struggling with the change, or things aren't going quite as well as you had planned. While it may be very troubling for parents, there is hope!
Literally, Affinity Counseling Center has trained staff to observe your child in their daycare. By seeing your child in the classroom, the therapist can identify trouble spots or areas of concern and explore options to help your child best transition to their new setting. Once Affinity Counseling has observed your child and pinpointed areas in need of improvement, the trained therapy staff will incorporate tools of play therapy for your child, as well as parent and teacher consultations, to help your child build success. The therapy staff will be available throughout the process to return to the school to reassess as needed, as well as provide ongoing counseling to meet your little one's needs.
By forging a team of caring parents, dedicated teachers, and child-centered therapeutic intervention, your child will have a chance to thrive in the classroom. Moreover, parents will have the opportunity to rest assured that their little one is calm and comfortable, allowing them peace during their already hectic workday.
