Services you can benefit from

A team of licensed specialists and therapists who work individually or in small groups, always following the child's needs.

“Every child carries light; we help it shine.”

We do not reshape children to a model. We build an environment where every child is accepted as they are, without expectations, without labels, without limits, and we give them the freedom to learn, to grow and to be happy.

Frequently asked questions

Didn't find your answer? Write to us or call, we will be happy to help.

What does the first visit look like?
We start with a conversation with the parents, to hear your observations and concerns. Then the child gets to know the space in a calm, play-based setting while a specialist observes. Finally, we discuss together what support is most suitable and what the plan would look like.
From what age do you accept children?
We work with children and young people across a wide age range; the approach follows individual development, not just chronological age. For a specific case, the best way is to consult us by phone or through the inquiry form.
Do you work with children with SEN?
Yes. The centre specialises in work with both typically developing children and children with special educational needs: motor, sensory and communication disorders, autism spectrum disorders, intellectual difficulties, hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder.
How much do the therapies cost?
The price depends on the type of service, the format (individual or small group) and the duration of sessions. We will share it transparently in a conversation, together with everything it includes. Send an inquiry or call us to get the current information.
Can a child attend more than one therapy?
Yes, we often combine several approaches, for example speech therapy with Montessori sessions, or psychological support with art therapy. Specialists work as a team and coordinate the plans, so the child receives consistent support.
