Therapeutic Play and Dance Sessions: Nurturing Emotional Growth (Ages 2-11)
Our therapeutic play and dance sessions at CALMSS are designed specifically for children aged two to eleven years, covering both preschool and primary school stages. We work with children across this developmental span in one-to-one and group formats, offering sessions within school settings, early years environments, and community spaces.
Key Benefits of Therapeutic Play and Dance Sessions
Therapeutic play and dance offers children a safe and creative space to explore emotions, build resilience, and make sense of their world in ways that feel natural and non-threatening. At CALMSS, these sessions are carefully designed to meet children at their emotional level, using play as a language through which healing and growth can take place.
What to Expect in a Therapeutic Play and Dance Session
Each therapeutic play session at CALMSS is thoughtfully planned, yet flexible enough to follow the unique emotional needs of the child on that day. Sessions are held in a calm, nurturing environment where children are gently guided through creative activities designed to support emotional expression, confidence, and regulation. Activities may include sensory play, creative arts, storytelling, drama, and mindfulness.
"The therapeutic play sessions have made a significant difference in my child's ability to manage their emotions and build confidence. I highly recommend CALMSS to any parent seeking support."
