Fostering Connection and Engagement Through Play
At LEAP Centre, we understand the importance of play and social interactions in a child’s development. If you’re concerned about your child’s play skills or their ability to interact socially, our team is here to support and guide them. We believe every child has the potential to engage, connect, and thrive through play and interaction with others.
Understanding Play and Social Skills
Play is a vital part of childhood, essential for learning and development. It’s through play that children explore the world, learn social rules, and develop communication skills. Some children, however, may find it challenging to engage in play or interact socially due to a variety of developmental, sensory, or communication barriers.
