Dear families, community members and visitors,

Thank you for visiting our website. The information in this website will assist you in learning more about our educational and therapeutic intervention services, admission process, in addition to dates of upcoming events, and information about various learning activities at Step by Step Centre.

As a dedicated special school for students with a range of learning needs, we are committed to taking each unique student one step further in the journey of learning and independence. Therefore we tailor our provision to their individual needs. Our school motto “Proud to Teach All” stems from our vision which inspires us to support students with the necessary academic and social skills to adapt to an ever changing world regardless of their challenges; and making inclusion a reality!

Our team provide individualized programs for students experiencing various sensory, communications, behaviour and/or learning challenges. Our experienced specialists are truly committed to making a positive difference in the lives of our students and ensuring they reach their full potential. Our dedicated teachers coordinate purposeful and engaging learning activities tailored to meet each student’s needs.

We firmly believe in using positive reinforcement when teaching students the expected behaviours to encourage prosocial behaviours, rather than reacting negatively after an inappropriate behaviour is displayed. We also strongly believe that parent partnership and involvement is an essential part of our programs. Parents are encouraged to actively engage and participate in developing their child’s individual educational program. They also have opportunities to receive training through individual therapy sessions.

As you explore the our website, you will also find that students have a wide range of opportunities to explore and develop their skills from culinary training program, arts and crafts workshops to various sports activities. Moreover, as preparing students for the workforce is an important role for our centre, we collaborate with our stakeholders to organize vocational programs and internship opportunities with exposure to career options. This way, we aim to train them with the basic competency and functional skills and facilitate their transition into the world of employment!

We dedicate ourselves to advocate for our students’ rights and create awareness in our attempts to help build a society that will allow them to learn, grow, achieve, and be respected as active members of our community.

It is a continuing privilege to be part of Step by Step Centre and contribute towards community awareness, equal opportunities and inclusion!

Thank you for visiting our website!
