To cater to the diverse learning needs of children, our school collaborates with Caritas On-site Pre-school Rehabilitation Services. The rehabilitation service provides comprehensive and timely support for preschool children with varying degrees of special needs through a cross-disciplinary service team and a school-based integrated model. The cross-disciplinary service team, consisting of occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech therapists, clinical/educational psychologists, social workers, and special needs educators, offers on-site training and support services to students enrolled in our school. Additionally, the team provides support services for teachers/educators and parents/caregivers. If necessary, our school will also offer professional advice to parents and refer them to professional assessment services.
On-Site Social Worker Services
Our school collaborates with the The Church of United Brethren in Christ Social Service Division to provide on-site social worker services for our students and their parents.
Student Services:
Early Identification and Intervention: Through observation and assessment, we identify students with emotional, behavioral, or learning needs as early as possible, offering appropriate counseling and referral services.
Prevention of Domestic Violence: We organize group activities and workshops to enhance students’ self-protection awareness and assist affected families in seeking support, promoting a safe growth environment.
Emotional and Social Support: Through individual counseling and peer groups, we help students develop positive emotional management and interpersonal skills.
Parent/Caregiver Support Services:
Parenting Education: We provide parenting skills workshops and seminars to help parents master positive discipline methods and improve parent-child communication.
Family Counseling Services: We offer counseling for families facing marital, economic, or disciplinary pressures, promoting healthy family functioning.
Referral to Community Resources: As needed, we connect families to community resources such as social welfare and psychological services to help them through difficult times.
Our school is committed to working closely with the social work team to provide comprehensive support for students and families, fostering a caring and inclusive campus.
New Student Adaptation
To help new preschoolers smoothly adjust to school life, our school has specially designed a “Gradual Adaptation Program.” This program aims to alleviate separation anxiety and establish a sense of security and belonging through a step-by-step approach.
Emotional Support Measures
Parent Accompaniment Period: Parents are allowed to wait outside the classroom initially, helping children feel that their parents are nearby, which enhances their sense of security.
Familiar Objects for Comfort: Children are encouraged to bring small toys or comfort items from home to ease their anxiety.
Buddy Matching: Older or well-adjusted students are assigned as “Angels” to assist newcomers in integrating into group activities.
Fun Interactive Guidance
Through games, music, storytime, and other relaxed activities, we engage children and redirect their attention away from separation.
Our school values each child’s adaptation process and strives to ensure that newcomers gradually fall in love with school life in a warm environment, with patience and professionalism.
