The Construction Zone

A building adventure designed for curious creators!

Guided by an experienced Occupational Therapist, this dynamic holiday program invites children to step into a world of construction, design and experimentation. Through hands-on building, creative challenges and teamwork, kids strengthen motor planning, coordination, fine motor control and confidence while exploring how things come together.

The OT will support children to develop:

• Greater control and coordination in hand and finger movements

• Practical motor-planning skills for everyday and school tasks

• Confidence to approach challenges step by step

• Stronger hand–eye coordination for building, drawing and play

• Creative thinking through open-ended construction tasks

• Social communication skills like sharing ideas, negotiating and collaborating

• Resilience and confidence when experimenting with new materials

• Comfort with group expectations, routines and teamwork

• A positive, empowering connection with learning through hands-on play

This group is designed for children who:

• Are aged 7–9 years

• Love building, inventing or tinkering with materials

• Are developing fine motor precision and hand strength

• Need support planning movements or completing multi-step tasks

• Are building flexible thinking during problem-solving

• Would benefit from more experience working in a small group

Before you register

If your child hasn’t visited Neuronaut before (or it’s been more than 3 months since their last session), we may need to arrange an initial consultation before starting. We’ll chat with you about this and any related fees.

Program spots

We process registrations as they come in, and spots are limited. Sending this form doesn’t guarantee a place. If we think another group or service might be a better fit for your child’s goals, we’ll discuss it with you.

Attendance

Our programs run as a complete block, so attending all sessions is important. Payment is required in advance for the full program, and is non-refundable (even if your child misses a session). If your child can’t attend, we’ll do our best to offer alternative supports, like goal updates or resources.

Group size

To make sure every child gets the support they need, groups are kept small (max. 5 children per group).

Family support

Each program includes a follow-up call with your child’s therapist and a summary report at the end.
