Environmental Occupational Therapy Assessments for Kindergartens & Childcare Centers

Building Blocks Therapy provides Environmental Occupational Therapy (OT) Assessments to help kindergartens and childcare centres create safe, accessible, and inclusive environments where all children can learn, play, and thrive.

Why Environmental OT Assessments Matter

A well-designed early learning environment is crucial to a child’s development, engagement, and independence. Our assessments focus on identifying barriers and making recommendations that enhance safety, mobility, and participation for all children, including those with disabilities or additional needs.

What Our Assessment Includes?

Our occupational therapists conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your centre’s physical and social environment, considering the following:

  • Accessibility & Mobility – Assessing pathways, entrances, play areas, and classroom layouts to ensure ease of movement for all children.
  • Safety & Risk Reduction – Identifying potential hazards and providing recommendations to create a safer learning space.
  • Sensory Considerations – Evaluating noise levels, lighting, and textures to create a sensory-friendly setting for children with sensitivities.
  • Play & Learning Spaces – Ensuring equipment and furniture promote active participation and engagement for children of all abilities.

How an Environmental OT Assessment Benefits Your Center

  • Enhances inclusion by creating a space where all children can actively participate.
  • Improves safety by reducing risks and ensuring compliance with accessibility guidelines.
