Merry Christmas treats for Little Leaps!

We are once again on our knees in thanks and Praise to Our Lord for Deqlans magnificent report from Little Leaps.

I wanted to share a piece from his report with you

'Deqlan is a happy boy with a sweet and kind disposition. He has made astonishing achievements this year. He listens beautifully and he thrives on praise and positive reinforcement. He has a wide field of interests and particularly enjoys literacy , numeracy ,creative activities and learning about the weekly theme. Deqlan loves to be at school! he participates enthusiastically in daily activities and us always eager to learn new things. he is an absolute joy to have in my class and positively influences his peers. He also has an incredible memory and every week he will exceed expectations as he easily retains informations and skills previously learnt. His vocabulary is increasing daily and he can now have a three way conversation with an adult. He is more and more responsive to his name and instructions and has a better understanding of what is expected of him. He has also learnt to deal with his emotions and to verbally express his needs, feelings and wants. Deqlan is only four years old and has already exceeded so many expectations and milestones of that of a 'neurotypical child'. It is in his best interst to focus on skills that he has not yet fully developed such as social skills, fine and gross motor skills.

Deqlan is enormously loved by everyone at Little Leaps and we are so proud of his achievements. He is our little 'joker' with a cheerful personality . He continues to discover his own potential and we are extremely proud of him . I am blessed to have him in my class and i see only great things for him in the future "

MY HEART SWELLS WITH PRIDE

MY SOUL SINGS WITH JOY
