AKIDS Explorers
Early Intervention Programme (EIP)
designed and run by Allied Health Professionals
A Multidisciplinary Early Intervention Centre (EIC) in Singapore
Our Approach
Adapted from the Pyramid of Learning (developed by occupational therapist Kathleen Taylor and special educator Maryann Trott), we go back to the fundamentals of how children learn: Their foundations support higher-order skills.
At AKIDS Explorer EIP, we adopt a progressive curriculum approach: following the upward flow of the pyramid, your children would first learn to process sensory information and develop sensorimotor skills. This supports their perceptual motor development which includes hand-eye coordination and postural adjustment. These skills then enable children to engage in social relationships and academic learning.
As a holistic early intervention programme, we emphasise the development of physical, cognitive, communicative, social and adaptive skills through fun and sustainable programmes.
