Discover KinderPrep
The Center for Hearing and Communication (CHC) is pleased to announce a new enrichment program, KinderPrep, that equips children ages 3 and 4 with the skills they need to succeed in kindergarten.
KinderPrep is a six-week program that meets once a week at CHC’s state-of-the-art facility located at 50 Broadway in lower Manhattan. The program is conducted by our renowned team of teachers with extensive experience in facilitating language, literacy, and social skills among children.
What sets KinderPrep apart from other play-based activity groups is that we utilize therapeutic techniques developed by the Center for Hearing and Communication based on 100 years of experience working with children who have hearing loss. The same methods that have proven successful in cultivating highly developed language and social skills in children with hearing loss have been found to be equally successful in bolstering skills in typically hearing children.
With KinderPrep, your child will experience a boost in pre-academic skills… while having a whole lot of fun.
