Kinatex’s psychoeducation service provides specialized support for children 0 to 5 years old who experience challenges related to development, adaptation, or behaviour.

Through observation of the child in their everyday environment and a collaborative approach, our psychoeducators work with educational teams and families to better understand the child’s needs and implement practical strategies that support their development, adaptation, and well-being.

Who is this service for?

The service is intended for daycares, CPEs, and other early childhood settings looking for support in their interventions with children aged 0 to 5.

The service also provides educators, specialized educators, and managers with practical tools to promote consistent interventions that are adapted to the child’s needs and the realities of their environment.
