Supporting every child to thrive

Every child is wonderfully made

At Kovenant Kids, we believe that every child is wonderfully made by God and deserves the opportunity to learn, play, grow, and participate in a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment. Our Special Support Services are designed to provide individualized support for children with additional needs, enabling them to participate fully in our programs while developing confidence, independence, and meaningful relationships.

We understand that every child is unique. That's why we work closely with families to create personalized support plans that build on each child's strengths while meeting their individual needs.

Who we support

Who We Support

We support children with a variety of additional needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, developmental and learning disabilities, speech and language delays, sensory processing differences, physical disabilities, and social, emotional, or behavioural needs.

Our individualized, child-centred approach ensures every child receives the support they need to learn, play, grow, and thrive in a safe, inclusive, and Christ-centred environment.

Our Approach

Our experienced Special Support Counsellors provide compassionate, child-centred, and trauma-informed support that focuses on each child's individual strengths and abilities.

We work to:

  • Build trusting relationships
  • Encourage independence
  • Promote confidence and self-esteem
  • Support communication and social development
  • Develop emotional regulation skills
  • Encourage participation in all activities
  • Create positive and successful experiences for every child

Our goal is not simply to provide supervision, but to empower children to build confidence, develop friendships, and achieve their full potential.

Step by step

How Our Special Support Services Work

  1. Complete the Intake Form

    Parents or caregivers begin by completing our Special Support Intake Form. This helps us understand your child's strengths, interests, routines, support needs, medical information, and any strategies that help them succeed.

    Providing detailed information allows our team to develop the most appropriate support plan before your child begins attending.

  2. Family Consultation

    Once we receive your completed intake form, a member of our Special Support Team will contact you to arrange a phone call, virtual meeting, or in-person consultation.

    During this meeting we will:

    • Learn about your child's strengths and interests
    • Discuss your family's goals and expectations
    • Review existing support plans or therapies
    • Answer any questions about our programs
    • Determine the level of support that best meets your child's needs

    This collaborative process ensures that Kovenant Kids is the right fit for your child and family.

  3. Individual Support Plan

    If everyone agrees to move forward, we will develop an Individual Support Plan tailored specifically to your child.

    Support may include:

    • One-to-one support (where required)
    • Shared support
    • Communication strategies
    • Behaviour support
    • Social skills development
    • Emotional regulation strategies
    • Sensory accommodations
    • Structured routines and visual supports
    • Assistance during recreational and educational activities

    Our plans are flexible and are reviewed regularly to ensure your child continues to receive the support they need.

  4. Welcome Visit

    Before your child's first day, families are invited to arrange a Welcome Visit.

    During this visit, your child can:

    • Meet their Special Support Counsellor
    • Explore the environment
    • Become familiar with daily routines
    • Participate in activities
    • Build confidence before starting

    This gentle transition helps children feel comfortable, safe, and excited to join Kovenant Kids.

  5. Ongoing Communication & Partnership

    We believe that parents and caregivers are experts on their children, and we value strong partnerships with families.

    Throughout your child's time with us, we provide:

    • Regular communication with families
    • Ongoing reviews of support needs
    • Adjustments to support strategies when required
    • Collaboration with parents and professionals
    • A safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment where every child can thrive

Faith-Centred Care

As a Christian organization, we believe every child is created in God's image and has immeasurable value and purpose.

We are committed to treating every child with love, dignity, patience, compassion, and respect while creating an environment where they feel accepted, encouraged, and empowered to flourish.
