For children who have behavioral, social or emotional difficulties or delays, entering kindergarten, “ready to learn”, or being successful in a day care or Head Start program can be difficult. The Early Childhood Institute offers a wide range of therapeutic services that help children from birth to school age reach their social, emotional and behavioral potentials.
To request an appointment, please call our Intake Department at (401) 276-4020.
The Early Childhood Institute of The Providence Center has expanded our array of Children’s services to include an Early Elementary Intensive Outpatient Program and Partial Hospital Program. These programs will serve children from Kindergarten through the second grade. The program, which will support children’s social/emotional needs in a therapeutic classroom, can be funded by a child’s health insurance (when possible) or their local school district. This will be a short-term treatment opportunity that will allow our team of educators and clinicians to learn about the meaning behind a child’s behavior, provide referrals for additional services and evaluations, and set families up with wrap-around services for ongoing support.
Services include:
During the day, early childhood specialists assist preschoolers, ages 3 to 5 years of age, in developing critical emotional, social and behavioral skills in a specially designed therapeutic treatment program that, to your child, looks just like preschool. Activities and learning centers are designed to give children the opportunity to practice social skills, develop language, motor skills and explore their creativity. Parents also participate in this treatment program experience by taking part in a weekly parent component that provides families with appropriate techniques for managing their child’s behaviors and impulses, helping them to learn and grow.
