🍂 Happy First Full Day of Fall! 🍂

We’re celebrating with a little peek at some of the fall artwork our Early Intervention (EI) Group Therapy kiddos created!

One of the many things our little learners get to enjoy in group is creating art together! From painting and coloring to hands-on seasonal crafts, art is a fun way to work on fine motor skills, creativity, following directions, communication, and self-expression — all while learning and playing alongside friends. 💛

Just look at these adorable fall creations! 🍁

Our drop-off EI Group program gives little ones the opportunity to learn, play, create and build independence in a fun, supportive group setting.

✨ And the best part? We have openings! ✨

📍 Middletown
📍 Monroe
📍 Stony Point

If you have a little one who could benefit from Group Early Intervention Services, reach out to your Ongoing Servcie Coordinator (OSC) or us to learn more about our programs and available openings!

🍁 Come grow with us!

🎉 MIDDLETOWN, WE’RE BACK! 🎉

Today was Opening Day for our Middletown Group Early Intervention program, and we couldn’t be more excited to have a group back in Middletown! 💕 We’ve been looking forward to filling the room with little voices, big smiles, lots of learning and, of course, plenty of fun! 🌈✨

🌟 Why Group EI?
Because little ones learn SO much through being with their peers! Group settings give children opportunities to:

💬 Practice communication & social skills
🤝 Learn alongside other children
🎨 Build independence through play & routines
💛 Grow confidence while having FUN!

And the exciting news doesn’t stop there…

🎉 WE HAVE OPENINGS! 🎉

Our Group EI programs are offered at THREE convenient locations:
📍 Stony Point
📍 Middletown
📍 Monroe

If you’re interested in Group EI services or want to find out if our program may be a good fit for your little one, reach out to us! We’d love to chat and tell you more. 💕✨

Here’s to a great start in Middletown and another year of learning, growing and making memories together! 🌟

🥵🌞 HEAT WAVE coming? Challenge accepted! 🌞🥵

When it's too hot to hit the playground, it's the perfect excuse to turn your house into the coolest adventure zone! 😎☀️

Here are some of our favorite therapist-approved ways to beat the heat while sneaking in tons of learning:

🍉 Watermelon Stamp Art
Cut a sponge into a watermelon slice (or use a paper plate!) and let your little one dip, stamp, and decorate. Bonus points for adding "seeds" with fingerprints! 🍉🎨
✨ Builds fine motor skills, hand strength, creativity, and color recognition.

🧊 Frozen Animal Rescue
Freeze plastic animals or toys in a bowl of water overnight. Then give your child a spray bottle, turkey baster, warm water, or a little toy hammer to "save" them!
✨ Strengthens little hands while encouraging problem-solving, patience, and imaginative play.

💦 Car Wash Station
Grab a bucket of soapy water, some toy cars (or dinosaurs!), a sponge, and a toothbrush. Suddenly, every toy needs a bath! 🚗🦕🫧
✨ Great for sensory play, bilateral coordination, and pretend play.

🎯 Pom-Pom Splash Challenge
Toss colorful pom-poms into a kiddie pool or bin of water and race to scoop them out with kitchen tongs, spoons, or a strainer. Who can collect the most?
✨ Builds hand strength, coordination, and early counting skills.

🧺 Pillow Mountain Obstacle Course
Stack couch cushions, crawl through blanket tunnels, hop over stuffed animals, and finish with a victory dance!
✨ Builds balance, coordination, motor planning, and burns LOTS of toddler energy!

🫧 Bubble Pop Workout
Blow bubbles and call out challenges:
👏 Pop with your elbows!
🦶 Pop with your feet!
🤲 Catch one with two hands!
🐸 Jump as high as you can!
✨ Works on balance, body awareness, listening skills, and gross motor development.

🍉 We couldn't resist sharing this sweet photo of our unofficial SJ & Associates mascot - Ms. Jules - showing off the adorable watermelon artwork our Group Therapy kiddos created! ❤️ Jules mom works at SJ & Associates and she has grown up alongside our agency. She still loves stopping by the office to see what the kiddos have been working on!

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and have FUN! What's your child's favorite way to beat the heat? ☀️💦🍉
