JubilantKids
An Early Intervention Programme in Singapore with communication as the key focus
You want your child to express what they need, share their ideas, connect with others and feel more confident participating in the world around them.
Our early intervention programme gives toddlers and preschoolers meaningful opportunities to practise communication throughout the class, with a curriculum designed by speech therapists and individual and group speech therapy embedded within.
Communication helps children make sense of the world around them.
“What if my child can’t tell me what they need?”
“What if my child struggles to connect with other children?”
“Will we ever have those little conversations I’ve been hoping for?”
When a child has difficulty communicating, parents may naturally worry about how their child will manage their everyday experiences at home, in preschool and as they grow.
And it makes sense to be concerned as communication forms the basis for learning. That’s also why communication deserves to be an intentional part of early intervention.
Is my child getting enough direct support for their communication needs?
In some early intervention settings in Singapore, therapists may primarily guide or coach other team members rather than work directly with children during sessions. While collaborative approaches can have a role, parents may want to understand how their child’s communication goals are being addressed in practice.
At Jubilant Speech Therapy, we believe children benefit from opportunities to receive focused communication support and practise those skills in meaningful interactions.
An early intervention programme in Singapore that brings together individual speech therapy support and group practice
Our programme combines 3 important elements:
1. Individual speech therapy support
Your child receives dedicated support from a speech therapist through scheduled 1:1 time and/or direct support during classroom activities.
2. Group speech therapy activities
Children also take part in regular group activities led by a speech therapist. These activities create curated opportunities to practise communication with other children. An emphasis is placed on peer-to-peer interaction skillsets (e.g., initiating and responding to others, sharing ideas, taking turns).
3. Curriculum designed by speech therapists
Communication practice is weaved in throughout the class. Our speech therapist works closely with our teachers during curriculum time to ensure that communication skills are practised and generalized in different situations. May it be playtime or snack time, learning is embedded within day to day routines.
A curriculum developed by speech therapists
Not all group programmes are designed with communication development as a central focus.
Our programme’s curriculum is created by our speech therapist, with activities planned to provide opportunities for children to practise communication skills throughout the class.
This means:
- Communication goals are considered when planning activities
- Children have opportunities to practise skills in meaningful contexts
- Activities support different aspects of communication, including expressing needs, sharing ideas, and interacting with others.
- Communication is encouraged across the class, rather than only during isolated teaching moments.
