Role of Preschool in Speech Delay

Spring Fields Nursery is playing an important role in supporting children with speech delays. Spring Fields Nursery has a contract with Star Center, which allows us to invite experts to observe our preschoolers. Here are some ways we are helping children with their communication:

Early Identification

Spring Fields Nursery has trained professionals who can identify and assess speech delays in children at an early stage. This allows for timely intervention and support. We offer different assessments to check for early speech delays and connect with parents to address them as soon as possible.

Individualised Interventions

Spring Fields Nursery provides individualised interventions and motivated sessions tailored to the specific needs of children with speech delays. Our educators work closely with children to improve their communication skills. If the delay is more serious, we recommend speech therapists who work in collaboration with parents.

Language Stimulation

Spring Fields Nursery offers a rich language and social environment that encourages communication. Through activities, play, and interactions with peers and teachers, children have more opportunities to practice and develop their speech and language skills.

Collaborative Approach

Spring Fields Nursery typically involves collaboration between teachers, therapists, and parents. This teamwork ensures a consistent and coordinated effort to address speech delays, monitor progress, and provide necessary support both inside and outside the classroom.

Social Interaction

Spring Fields Nursery Preschool is helping children with speech delays improve their social skills and language development. Being around other children who are typically developing can serve as positive role models and stimulate language acquisition.

It’s important to note that the severity and underlying causes of speech delays can vary, so individualized approaches and professional guidance are important for each child.

Spring Fields Nursery is committed to helping every child reach their full communication potential. We believe that early identification and intervention are essential for success, and we offer a variety of resources to support children with speech delays.
