Early Intervention
The Early Intervention Centre is a licensed Early Childhood facility which caters for deaf and hearing-impaired. It is staffed by Teachers of the Deaf who also hold Early Childhood qualifications.
Enrolment may be undertaken prior to attendance at other facilities, or to complement mainstream early childhood education.
Programme session and attendance times are arranged to suit the needs of the child and the family. While the programmes follow Te Whariki, the Early Childhood Curriculum, a special emphasis is placed on communication and language development. The child's specific learning needs are addressed through Individual Development Plans. Children in the Early Intervention Centre have access to specialist staff on campus.
