My son attended CLDP for a year prior to play school. He has Down Syndrome. He was assigned a programme suited to his needs which was reviewed with us his parents and his early intervention team on a regular basis. I feel that the one-to-one tuition was the biggest advantage. Also he learned to sit and listen and be part of a group in a classroom environment. From removing his coat, taking his lunch and toilet training, Joan and the staff were all fantastic in giving him his independence. When he started play school the following year he was more than able to hold his own. CLDP gave him the best start for school life.

The relief to hand your child over to people you can really trust is such an ease. Sophie now has little sentences, better eye contact and much better comprehension ,all this, in the space of 5 months. I have no doubt in my mind that it is down to the CLDP.
If you suspect any communication delay please do not hesitate your child’s time is precious act fast, I could not recommend a better school.

You have a rare aptitude for truly seeing a child with additional needs as just another child who needs some support. That has helped me so much as a mum to realise that my little boy is still that, a little boy that just needs some extra help. You don’t just help the children; you help the families too without even realising it.
