ABA Therapy in Daycare Settings
Your child's therapy, right in the place they love
Kids N Heart ABA brings expert therapy directly to your child’s daycare. Our BCBAs and RBTs work with your child in their familiar environment, building skills during the activities they’re already doing every day.
Your Child Gets So Much With Daycare ABA
Therapy in a Natural Environment
Your child learns skills in the setting where they'll actually use them. Social skills during playtime. Communication during snack. Following directions during group activities.
Expert ABA Support
Our BCBAs create individualized treatment plans based on your child's specific needs. Our RBTs work one-on-one with your child, using proven ABA strategies to build skills and reduce challenging behaviors.
Collaboration With Daycare Staff
We work closely with your child's daycare teachers and caregivers. They learn strategies to support your child throughout the day, creating consistency across all activities.
No Disruption to Your Routine
Your child stays at the daycare they already attend. You don't add appointments or travel to therapy centers. Everything happens during the hours they're already there.
Progress That Generalizes
Skills learned at daycare transfer to home, school, and community settings. Your child practices in real-life situations with real peers.
What Daycare Therapy Looks Like
During Circle Time
Practicing sitting with the group, following directions, taking turns, and participating in activities.
During Play
Learning to share toys, ask peers to play, engage in pretend play, and navigate social situations.
During Meals & Snacks
Building communication skills, requesting items, making choices, using utensils, and practicing mealtime routines.
During Transitions
Managing changes between activities, following schedules, and handling unexpected situations calmly.
During Outdoor Play
Developing gross motor skills, playing cooperatively, taking turns on equipment, and building peer relationships.
