This programme helps children aged 3 years and above build the essential skills required for successful entry into mainstream or inclusive schools.
Starting school is an exciting milestone for every child. However, some children may need additional support before entering mainstream or inclusive schools. At Nivera Child Development Center, Kochi, we offer a specialized School Readiness Program in Kerala that prepares children for the challenges of school life—academics, communication, social interaction, independence, and behavior.
As one of the most trusted centers for pediatric therapy and early intervention in Kochi, our program serves as a pre-inclusive school for special needs, helping children transition smoothly into regular classrooms with confidence.
The transition from home to school can be challenging for children with special needs. Many children may struggle with sitting tolerance, attention span, communication, behavior regulation, and peer interaction. A structured readiness programme bridges these gaps, ensuring the child gains confidence and independence.
