Connect Society’s Early Childhood Services Program provides daily, on-site preschool and kindergarten programming for children with a hearing loss and for hearing children who have Deaf or hard of hearing parents or family members.
Our programs provide children with opportunities to develop strong language abilities and to build skills and strategies that will prepare them for effective interactions within their families as well as in educational and community settings.
The Early Childhood Services staff are knowledgeable and experienced with early childhood development, hearing loss and its considerable impacts on communication, social/emotional development as well as academic skills development. The team includes Alberta certified teachers, speech and language pathologist, educational assistants, an American Sign Language facilitator, family literacy instructors, and social workers. Occupational and Physical Therapists work on site as needed.
