Starting at KCA

We understand that choosing activities and support is important for your child’s life and development and we are here to help you on this exciting journey.

Here at KCA we are always eager to provide a happy, smooth and memorable transition into our activities for every child and young adult when they start with us. That’s why we offer time to visit our centre and meet our team. We complete a comprehensive assessment of needs and offer new starters bespoke settling sessions tailored to each individual child and family, completely free of charge.

During your assessment of needs meeting and settling in sessions, we aim to understand everything about your child. This includes their current routine, how they like to be comforted, if they have a favourite story or activity they enjoy, how to support their communication needs and set goals to fulfil their aspirations.

Throughout your child’s time at KCA, their key person will always consider their needs and interests and provide activities that promote learning through play and development of independent skills. They will develop their personal plan “All about me” and other relevant assessments. Our team has access to Twinkl which is an innovative and exciting learning resource. Our staff have embedded in their practice that children and young adults:

are Included

can make Choices and Decisions

are treated with Dignity and Respect

are supported with Kindness and Ambition for their physical, emotional and social development
