Early Intervention and Developmental Support for Young Children

Our Approach to Early Development

At Children First, we recognize that early support acts as a foundation for a lifetime of confidence. Our approach is not clinical or cold. We use play-based therapy to help children navigate developmental delays or neurodivergent needs. Whether your child is working on sensory regulation in our specialized gym or learning social interaction in our group settings, every activity is designed to meet them exactly where they are.

Why Our Program Works

Children under 6 are at a critical stage of growth. We focus on:

• Social & Communication Skills: Using guided play to bridge the gap between internal thought and external expression.
• Sensory Regulation: Helping children understand and manage their responses to the world around them through Occupational Therapy.
• School Readiness: Preparing children for classroom environments by building patience, turn-taking abilities, and the capacity to follow group instructions.

We keep our cohort sizes small, typically 5-6 children, ensuring that every child gets the attention they need. Our high staff-to-child ratio of 1:2 or 1:3 allows our team of psychologists and therapists to monitor progress closely and adapt strategies in real-time.

Regular Collaboration with Parents

We view therapy as a partnership. Our model includes regular parent connects where we discuss home strategies, ensuring that the skills your child learns in our Safdarjung or Gurugram centers translate into daily life. From formulating a care plan to implementing specific exercises, we are with you through every step of the process. If you are noticing signs like difficulty with sensory input, repetitive behaviors, or challenges in connecting with peers, we encourage you to start an early conversation with our team.
