After School Enrichment Programme for Children with Special Needs
What Is an Afterschool Enrichment Programme?
An afterschool enrichment program offers structured, meaningful activities designed to support a child’s growth beyond the classroom. These thoughtfully planned sessions reinforce learning, build practical life skills, and encourage social and emotional development—all within a nurturing and supportive environment.
Unlike typical afterschool care, our special needs after school program is led by trained therapists and educators who specialise in working with neurodiverse children, including students with autism. We provide personalised academic support to help students manage homework effectively.
Through purposeful play, targeted interventions, and guided social interactions, our afterschool program for special needs helps children strengthen communication skills, emotional regulation, executive functioning, and peer relationships.
Our programme is ideal for pre-teenage children seeking more than standard care, offering an afterschool program for pre-teenagers that focuses on holistic development tailored to each child’s unique needs.
This safe, structured, and supportive setting not only enhances academic readiness but also fosters independence, confidence, and resilience—essential skills for success both in school and everyday life.
With FunFeats’ afterschool program for students with autism and other special needs, parents can rest assured their child is safe, supported, and thriving in a space designed just for them.

What’s Included in Our Afterschool Enrichment Programme?
Academic Homework Support
We offer academic support for children with special needs, providing daily assistance with schoolwork using strategies tailored to each child’s individual learning style. Whether it’s breaking down instructions, reinforcing classroom concepts, or managing focus and task completion, our trained educators help children approach their assignments with greater confidence and less frustration. This bridges the gap between home and school while promoting independent learning.
Daily Living Skills & Independence Training
We incorporate essential life skills into daily routines—such as purchasing food, managing timetables, organising belongings, and navigating transitions. These activities promote autonomy and build executive functioning abilities like planning, time management, and decision-making. By developing these skills in a supportive setting, children gain a stronger foundation for everyday success both at home and in school.
Social Skills & Behavioural Coaching for School Readiness
Our afterschool programme for pre-teenage children includes structured group activities that foster turn-taking, communication, emotional regulation, and peer interaction. Through play-based behavioural coaching, children learn to manage frustration, follow instructions, and adapt to social situations. These interactions prepare them for classroom dynamics and promote stronger relationships with peers and teachers.
Occupational, Speech & Educational Therapy Add-ons
For children who require additional support, FunFeats offers on-site access to occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, and educational specialists. Individual sessions can be scheduled alongside the programme to address specific developmental goals, whether related to communication, sensory processing, motor coordination, or literacy skills. These add-ons can be personalised to complement your child’s existing Individualised Education Plan (IEP) or school-based support strategies—ensuring a coordinated and holistic approach to their growth.
After-School Care Programme for Students with Autism
Our after-school care programme for students with autism is thoughtfully designed to provide a safe, structured, and nurturing environment where children on the spectrum can learn, grow, and thrive beyond regular school hours. Recognising that every child experiences the world differently, we build our programme around evidence-based strategies, personalised support, and strong collaboration with families.
Sensory-Friendly Environments
Each space is carefully designed with sensory sensitivities in mind, featuring calming zones, controlled lighting, and sensory tools to help children regulate and engage more comfortably during daily activities.
Visual Schedules and Structured Transitions
Predictability is key for many children on the spectrum. We use visual timetables, structured routines, and gradual transitions to reduce anxiety, support executive functioning, and create a sense of security throughout the therapy-based after-school programme.
Tailored Activities for Individual Needs
From communication exercises to social skills games and life skills training, every session is adapted to suit individual learning profiles. These structured after-school activities in Singapore help children build confidence, practise self-regulation, and navigate peer interactions in a supportive setting.
Parent Collaboration and Therapist Involvement
We believe progress is strongest when families are actively involved. Our therapists work closely with parents, sharing strategies that can be applied at home and ensuring consistency between our centre and daily life. This collaborative approach enhances outcomes and supports continued growth.
Holistic Support Beyond Academics
More than just student care, our after-school care for children with autism nurtures communication, emotional regulation, and independence. Through a blend of targeted interventions and play-based learning, we empower children to thrive both in school and everyday life.
Why Choose an Enrichment Programme
for Your Child After School?
Structure That Supports Growth
Beyond school hours hours are often underutilised, especially when children are left without purposeful activities. A structured afterschool enrichment programme provides a predictable routine that helps reduce stress, encourages better behaviour, and builds time management skills. For children with special needs, this consistency is especially beneficial in reinforcing learning and behavioural strategies.
Reducing Screen Time, Encouraging Engagement
In a world where digital devices are ever-present, afterschool enrichment offers a healthy, interactive alternative to screen time. Through guided activities, peer interactions, and creative play, children stay active and engaged—supporting both cognitive and emotional development.
Building Confidence and Life Readiness
Children with autism, ADHD, or other developmental challenges often benefit from additional time and space to practise real-world skills. Our programme nurtures self-confidence, emotional regulation, and social adaptability—preparing children for success not just in school, but in everyday life.
