Early Childhood Services

Melmark New England currently provides services for children from the ages of 4 to 8 years old in our newly expanded program space, featuring large, bright classrooms and bathrooms with child-sized fixtures. The new gross motor room and our beautiful playground provide space and opportunities for physical and social development. Teaching is provided utilizing best practices in applied behavior analysis, education and child development.

Classroom teachers follow a theme-based curriculum into which individual goals and objectives for each student are carefully embedded, providing a rich, meaningful learning experience for each child at their own level of readiness. Teaching is provided utilizing best practices in applied behavior analysis and child development.

Speech, Occupational and Physical therapists work side by side with classroom teachers to provide their services within the most functional contexts possible for the children.

All teachers and ancillary clinical staff receive close supervision and support from middle-level and senior-level clinical staff. This level of mentoring and support assists the teachers and therapists as well as provides for program quality and consistency.
