Therapeutic Preschool "Our Little Academy"

 

NEWS: We welcome inquiries about openings year-round at any time.

Our Little Academy is Our Little Haven’s therapeutic preschool. This innovative day treatment program is unique to the region, one of only three such programs licensed by the Department of Mental Health in the State of Missouri as a Preschool Day Treatment Facility.

Our Little Academy is a full day program that provides therapeutic treatment in a preschool setting for children ages 3-6 who cannot participate in a traditional preschool/day care due to behavioral or emotional problems. Diagnoses may include reactive attachment disorder, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, PTSD and other disruptive behavioral disorders. Individual and group therapy, small class size (3-4 children) and a high therapist-to-child ratio (1:3) provides individualized treatment and needed support for children and families.

Our Little Academy’s strong parent/caregiver involvement promotes family cohesiveness. On-site speech, occupational, physical and developmental therapies, comprehensive psychological assessments and psychiatric consultation insure that each child's needs are met. Transportation assistance is available. Parents may elect to participate in our Parent-Child Interaction Therapy concurrently (see this link).

Admission to this year-round program is on a rolling basis. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8 am - 3:30 pm (aftercare is available until 5:00 pm) Payment options include Medicaid, (Foster & Adoptive children may qualify for 100% Medicaid reimbursement) MC+, sliding scale fees and some scholarships are available. Transportation financial assistance is available.
