Programs & Supports

Child-Centred Play Therapy (CCPT)

An evidenced-based therapy where children use play — their natural language — to express emotions, process experiences, and build self-confidence.
Children lead the session while the therapist provides a safe, accepting space for healing and growth.

Therapy Using Creative Arts

Combining art, creativity, and imagination to support emotional expression and self-discovery.
Creative Arts Therapy helps children and young people explore feelings, reduce anxiety, and strengthen emotional regulation through hands-on, creative experiences.

Early support for children with developmental delays, autism, or additional needs.
Our educators collaborate with families, schools, and other professionals to build skills in communication, social interaction, emotional regulation, and daily routines — through play-based, family-centred approaches.

Early Childhood Intervention Support

Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT)

An evidence-based parent skill development program that helps caregivers strengthen their bond with their child through special play sessions at home.
CPRT teaches parents therapeutic play skills that enhance connection, reduce behavioural challenges, and promote trust and understanding.

Play 4 Change offers a range of therapeutic programs and supports designed to meet each child where they are at:
