Pre-School Intervention

Pre-School Intervention

Rocky View’s Early Intervention Program, known as Preschool Intervention Program (PIP), supports children aged 2 ½  to 5 years old with severe developmental needs and 3 ½  to 5 year olds with mild/moderate needs. PIP provide specialized service for preschool aged children with needs to be supported within their own community. It provides children with small class sizes, small adult-child ratios, language enriched environments, family orientated programming sessions, and transitions to the next year.

Using a collaborative approach, practitioners integrate services and strategies functionally in the classroom. The areas of need addressed include: speech and language; fine motor skills; and gross motor skills.PIP team members also collaborate with the Alberta Children's Hospital, Medical Personnel, outside agencies, Private Preschool Programs, as well as the Calgary Health Authority to help support families by gathering information to understand and support their child.
