Helping your child feel successful, connected, and supported in the classroom.
Is your child struggling with classroom routines, transitions, communication, challenging behaviors, or making friends? ConnectEd Kids provides individualized support within daycare and preschool settings to help children build skills, participate with their peers, and feel more successful at school.
Support That Fits Your Child. Every child is different. Some children need more intensive support throughout their day, while others may need targeted assistance with specific skills or situations.
At ConnectEd Kids, we don't believe that every child needs the same number of therapy hours or the same approach.
We take the time to understand your child, your family's priorities, and what is happening in their everyday environment. From there, we work with you to identify the level and type of support that makes sense.
For some children, this may include more frequent 1:1 support throughout the preschool day. For others, focused support around specific goals may be more appropriate.
You don't have to wait until preschool says, ‘We can't handle this’.
ConnectEd Kids can provide individualized support within your child's daycare or preschool without charging the school or childcare provider. For children with an autism diagnosis, services are typically covered by health insurance, subject to eligibility and authorization. We currently accept the following insurances: Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), MassHealth, MBHP, Carelon, Cigna/Evernorth, Optum, Tricare East, United Healthcare/Optum, and Aetna.
Our goal is not to change who your child is or make them fit into a one-size-fits-all idea of how a preschooler "should" behave.
Instead, we focus on helping children develop the skills and supports they need to communicate, participate, connect with others, and feel successful in their environment.
Sometimes that means teaching a new skill. Sometimes it means changing the environment or the way adults respond. And sometimes it means helping the people around your child better understand and support them.
The right support is the support that works for your child and your family.
Support for Your Child. No Cost to Their School.
What Sets Us Apart
We come to you
Your child can receive support in the environments where they learn, play, and spend their everyday lives.
Whether that’s at home, daycare, preschool, or in the community, we meet your child where they are. Providing support in these familiar environments allows your child to practice skills where they naturally occur, making it easier to use those skills across people, settings, and situations.
We service daycares and preschools in Andover, North Andover, and Methuen, MA.
Real-life environments. Real-life skills. Meaningful progress.
Our support may focus on a variety of areas such as:
Participating in group activities
Following classroom routines and directions
Communicating wants, needs, and feelings
Developing social and play skills
Building friendships and connecting with peers
Increasing independence
Navigating transitions and changes
Reducing behaviors that interfere with learning or participation
Helping caregivers and teachers understand what your child is communicating through their behavior
We Work Together
Your child’s success doesn’t happen in isolation. We collaborate with parents, teachers, and caregivers to create consistent support across the people and environments that matter most.
By working together, we can help your child build meaningful skills while also giving the adults around them practical strategies to better understand, support, and respond to their needs.
Let’s Connect!
