Nivera Child Developmental Center in Trivandrum offers a structured, research-based School Readiness Program designed to prepare young children for preschool, kindergarten, and formal schooling. Many children struggle with attention, behavior, communication, handwriting, pre-academic skills, and classroom adjustment—even if they do not have a diagnosed developmental condition. Without the right foundation, they find school stressful, overwhelming, and difficult to cope with.
Our School Readiness Program gives children the essential skills they need before entering school, ensuring smooth adjustment, confidence, and independence from day one.
We combine the strengths of speech therapy, occupational therapy, behavior training, early learning methods, and structured routines to develop all areas of a child’s growth. The program is ideal for children aged 2.5 to 6 years.
The transition from home to school is one of the biggest changes in a child’s early life. Children need specific skills to manage classroom expectations, follow instructions, interact with peers, complete activities, and learn effectively. Some children fall behind simply because these foundational skills are not developed early.

✅ Classroom behavior & sitting tolerance
