Families from different ethnic backgrounds, cultures, religions, languages, family backgrounds and children with special needs are all welcomed into our safe and secure pre-school, whereby all family members are accepted and valued. Little Treasures Vision Statement Accepted Children are accepted and valued for who they are, regardless of their culture, gender, religion or ability. Loved Children are cared for in a loving, caring and safe environment, so they feel they belong. Develop Children are provided with opportunities to develop into their full gifts and personalities from God. Faith Children develop an understanding of how God loves each of us and the way He wants us to live our lives. Educating Children with Autism We provide an intensive educational program based on the principles of ABA. Our goal is to maximize the potential of each child. Teaching Staff

The Classroom The classrooms and program are strategically planned to promote discovery and learning. Children will be provided with opportunities to engage in activities planned by adults and also those that they plan or initiate themselves. Children learn through play. However, our skilled teachers will support children to ensure that the activities build on what children already know and what they can do. The curriculum will include information on how to move children on to the next stage in their development. There are private therapy rooms for children enrolled in our ABA program.
