Just For Dads

Dim the Lights
Dim the lights is now at Heart Lake EarlyON!
You and your child can explore the centre with reduced sensory stimulation during Dim the Lights. In this program, we keep the centre as quiet as possible by playing calming music (or no music at all), removing loud toys, and singing softly during circle time. Lights are dimmed, less materials are out and fidget toys are available. Children who are often overwhelmed by lots of noise and lights, who take time to adjust to a new space, or just want a quiet place to play may especially enjoy this program.
Support and information about child development and behaviour will be available through our partnering agencies and BridgeWay staff.
