Absolutely! With a little notice, you’re always welcome to observe. We love parent participation because it helps you carry over strategies into the home environment. We just ask that visits be balanced so your child can stay focused and engaged in their therapy routine.

In addition to optional observations, all families will also attend scheduled monthly parent training sessions with their child’s care team. During these visits, you’ll have the chance to observe, ask questions, and learn about the strategies we’re using to support your child’s growth and progress. These trainings are a key part of our program and help build strong collaboration between home and center.

We offer two time blocks + full day:

Morning 8-12pm
Afternoon 1-5pm
Full day 8:30-4:30pm
