Personalized ABA Therapy at Daycare
ABA therapy at daycare brings personalized autism support directly into your child’s daily learning environment. Designed for young children who thrive through play and social interaction, this approach helps them practice communication, behavior, and independence skills alongside peers in a familiar, structured setting.
Each program is guided by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and delivered by trained Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) who collaborate closely with daycare staff. Together, they ensure therapy aligns with classroom routines and promotes real progress that carries over to home life.
Benefits of In-Daycare ABA Therapy
Consistency across environments
Children practice skills in their daycare setting and naturally carry them over to home and community life, creating consistent progress across all areas of development.
Peer socialization & communication
Therapy takes place alongside classmates, giving children real opportunities to build social, language, and play skills through natural interaction with peers.
Support for everyday routines
From circle time to cleanup, therapy is integrated into daily daycare activities, helping children learn to follow directions, share, and manage transitions smoothly.
Convenience for families
Because therapy happens where your child already spends the day, there’s no need for extra travel or schedule changes. Just steady progress in a familiar environment.

FAQs About ABA Therapy at Daycare

Therapy sessions are integrated into daily routines like playtime, circle time, and transitions, allowing skills to develop naturally throughout the day.
What types of goals are addressed during daycare-based therapy?
Therapy often focuses on communication, social interaction, following directions, managing transitions, and building independence. These goals are personalized based on your child’s needs and daycare routines.
Do daycare teachers participate in therapy?
Yes. Collaboration is a key part of this model. Therapists work closely with daycare staff to ensure consistency and to reinforce strategies throughout the day.
How do I know if my daycare allows outside therapists?
Not all daycares automatically permit therapy providers. Our team helps guide you through the process by coordinating with daycare leadership, explaining therapist roles, and ensuring all requirements are met.
