The Early Intervention Centre - #06 - 52/54 The Early Intervention Centre

EIC Teachers are very patient and understanding towards my boy. They help my boy from non verbal to become verbal. They also teach my boy the essential skills for him to transit to a mainstream school later. Many thanks to the Principal, Coordinator (very helpful) and teachers!

Our son was born and based in Australia and was diagnosed very early at 18 months with GDD. We as parents immediately did an extensive search on the right early intervention program that would accelerate and aid his development. While there were several services available here in Australia, the intensive early intervention program that EIC offered immediately appealed to us. We communicated with Ms. Veron, Ms. Marie and Ms. Shangari over several emails and phone calls. Ample information was provided and all our questions were answered comprehensively. We were so pleased with the communication and plan put forward by EIC that we decided to move from Australia to Singapore for our child's early development program at EIC. Our son started at EIC and within the first week we started seeing massive improvements in his behaviour and communication. We had daily feedback and also clear communication on what goals were set and being worked on for our child at all times. The educators at EIC headed by Ms.Marie tailored an individualized educational plan and used a teaching approach that well suited our child's needs. It was immediately very apparent to us that the team at EIC was made of a very knowledgeable team of educators.The communication was very clear and professional at all times. During his time at EIC, our son progressed leaps and bounds. I can vouch for the early intervention program at EIC as the best in Singapore, arguably the best center even when compared with all the centers and programs available in Australia. I would strongly recommend EIC to anyone looking for an Early intervention program for their kids.

We were lost and helpless without the knowledge or skill set to help our son as he was diagnosed with special needs. He barely eats, hardly communicates and does not hold eye contact. We fail to understand his needs or help him holistically. Specialist and therapist whom he visits once a week can only do so much as they can only highlight issues and advise training exercises but leave most of the actual work to the parents. This is a tremendous task which being untrained, parents can only do so much. EIC came at such a time of need and being almost a full day programme, the Teachers are able to pick up the areas and provide more holistic and targeted help. It has been a relief and for the duration enrolled, we see a breakthrough in many aspects so as to enable our son to move on to another phase. As far as dedication and communication goes, we are in awe and as parents, we learn a great deal from the Teachers in EIC.

My son attended the EIC program since he was 4 years old and was with them for 4 years till the Covid ban foreign entry. To show how exceptional EIC is I have to write from the time my son was first diagnosed with autism at the age of 2.5. We decided that intervention at a young age was critical and decided to travel weekly to Singapore to attend various therapies. Since we only have less than 5 days a week in Singapore (due to travel time) and understanding that intervention at a young age is important, we need to find the "Best" place. This is the most stressful period as we were worried of making the wrong choice. We had been scrambling to find suitable therapies for him and switching from places to places with trial and errors. The real challenge, among other things, is to find a place where social, education, trainings are all integrated together in 1 place. We were lucky to spot the EIC sign while doing grocery shopping. The intervention program they implemented for him is unique -- a combination of personalized program and yet implemented in a group setting; with education and social discipline taught, self behavioural management introduced and honed. This was exactly what we were looking for. We did make the correct choice. My son's confidence grew and he was so proud of being a student at EIC. Even up till now, though we are already in Indonesia, he still has a personal attachment and sense of belongings to EIC. I need to further compliment everyone who is there in EIC for their attention, patience and efficiency in working towards my son's improvement. They were able to observe both positive attitudes or any issues that my son was experiencing during each week and related this to us for further strengthening or correction. We felt like everyone is like a family. They really understood our feelings and had the symphaties, full drives and responsibilities to drive our son's capabilities to the max.

My son was enrolled at EIC for about 4 years, and it has been one of our best experiences at Singapore. Ms. Marie has an amazing team of hard working, capable and caring teachers, and Ms. Veron has always been extremely helpful beyond our expectations. He was very happy there, and our concerns were always taken very seriously. The entire team, including Ms. Marie, would be present at the meetings, ready with videos of my child's accomplishments. They always ensured that everything was written down and parents' feedback was always taken into consideration. I have already recommended them to family and friends, and if they had a program for older kids, we would have never left! We're still in touch, and they will always feel like family.

When we started EIC , my child was unable to hold a pen properly and draw a line. His fine motor skills were less than impressive and his cognition, directionless. Today he is in an integrated school doing quite well. This is thanks to the dedicated teachers and the support we received from the principal and the staff at EIC. We were happy to see that the curriculum was carefully selected and adjustments made to meet the needs of the student. Education has been a very positive experience for our family with this school. It gave the start my child needed and pushed him along till we could dream more. I would strongly suggest planning a tour of this school and checking it out.

My son has been with EIC since he was 20 months old. EIC has always been helpful towards the challenges we faced. Their program and service are customized and professional, often following up until a solution is provided. We have been with them for 5 years now. We are thankful that our son has been progressing well, with their exposure of play and teaching in an enjoyable manner. The staff are always friendly and accommodating, making parents and kids feel at ease to approach them.

My daughter attended EIC for 3.5 years. We started with an hour Special Education class once a week and we saw the progress within a few months. We gradually increased her attendance and eventually enrolled her in the daily full day classes. The small class size, personalized attention, and measurable IEP objectives and goals worked perfectly. I would definitely recommend EIC as an ideal place for children who need a little more individualized attention and help with motor planning, sensory, speech and occupational difficulties. Now that we have relocated overseas, even the teachers here were impressed with how EIC had taught her, including the ADLs where she could perform task independently. EIC, thank you for the amazing and caring teachers, and the exceptional dedication and leadership from the management in ensuring that every child under your care succeeds.
