We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to a generous professional and parent who took the time to send us the following review. Receiving feedback on our classes, workshops, and training sessions is invaluable to us. It not only helps us improve our services but also reassures us that we are on the right track.
Not many get the opportunity to avail of all the services that we currently offer but this lady has. Read her review below:
"I first discovered Maia through my work, I manage a preschool in Sligo for children
with additional needs in Sligo and arranged for Shannan to come in and host a
Maia play workshop for the children. The staff did not know what to expect from
this or how our children would enjoy it.
Shannan came in and set up different sensory stations for the children and we
split our children into little groups. There was something for every child, and we
got to see some interests, strengths and abilities that we had not before.
This experience surpassed all of our expectations and for a change, we got to step
back and observe the children become immersed in the sensory play and
opportunities that had been set up for them.
It has inspired us to offer more opportunities like this to our children so we
arranged for staff to attend a training workshop with Shannan on the benefits of
this play and also lessons on how to make different things for the trays using
simple and safe ingredients that most people have in their kitchen.
I am also a mother and immediately I knew I wanted to get my own child involved
in Maia sessions locally. I work Mon-Fri and found it hard to find something for us
to do together at weekends, I now attend most Sundays with my child and it is
such a unique opportunity for us to bond and connect, I have watched her
confidence and curiosity grow. Each week there is something different for the
children, it doesn’t get boring! She gets to use her hands, problem-solving skills,
gets messy and explore new things .
The classes are never over filled and this is important for little ones, they get a
chance to be independent and socialise safely. The children all have space to
enjoy each station!"
