AKIDS Explorers: Early Intervention Programme
A Play-Based Early Intervention Programme for children aged 4 to 7
We provide personalised learning plans for each child, using structured routines that are predictable, supportive, and grounded in play.
The programme is held in small groups with individualised attention, using consistent, evidence-informed strategies to support each child’s development.

Your Child’s Learning Journey
First 8 Weeks: Observation
Our EIPIC team observes your child across settings to understand their strengths, learning style, and needs.
Initial IEP Meeting
We meet with you to share observations and co-create an Individual Education Plan (IEP), tailored around the GCOs and your goals.
6-Monthly Reviews
We review your child’s progress, adjust goals and strategies, and celebrate milestones together.
We also work closely with caregivers to support consistency across home, school, and therapy.
Through regular communication and practical strategies, families are supported in understanding their child’s needs and using approaches that feel manageable, not overwhelming.
Enrolment & Subsidies
We welcome enrolment throughout the year, subject to available slots.
To ensure that your child thrives in our learning environment, we begin with an initial assessment.
This helps us understand your child’s strengths, needs, and readiness for group learning and ensures the best possible fit with our classroom dynamics.

Initial Assessment
Before enrolment, your child will attend an initial consultation and preliminary assessment to help us understand their strengths, needs, and readiness for group learning.
Thoughtful Placement
Based on your child’s age, developmental profile, and support needs, we will recommend the group that best supports their learning goals.
Why Fit Matters
Early intervention works best when children are placed in a setting that matches their developmental pace, learning needs, and support level.
