Children are enroll from both to 2 1/2 years in the Early Intervention program. The children attend the program for one hour Monday through Friday. We recognise that the parents are the first education in the child's life.

They are equal partners with the teachers at the Centre in fostering the child's progress. Therefore, one parent must attend class along with the child. The parents are shown how to utilise everyday situations and activities at home, towards developing speech and language skills in the child.

In cases where neither parent is able to be the caregiver a relative of the child like a grandparent or aunt should take the role of the caregiver.

The Amaliya Early Learning Centre has formulated an effective syllabus that includes the parents as equal partners in the program. The methodology is named ‘DHVANI’ – ‘Development of Hearing, Voice and Natural Integration’.

DHVANI is an intensive language program that uses best practices in Early Childhood Education to help infants and young children acquire age appropriate skills, language and speech.

DHVANI Teaching Learning Materials are sequential. They are designed to bring about a holistic development of the child’s personality at an early age which will be an invaluable investment for their future.

No formal text books are followed at the Centre. All learning is activity based. Individual attention is given to children allowing them to reach their full potential intellectually, socially and emotionally. Children are allowed to develop at their own pace. Regular observation along with continuous assessments using the DHVANI Assessment Cards and DHVANI KEYS provides a detailed picture of each student’s progress. DHVANI Teacher Learning Materials (TLMs) develop various skills in the children and ensure that they are able to compete with children in the mainstream. The outgoing students of the Amaliya Early Learning Centre will be able to express themselves fluently, read and write sentences independently and be comfortable with number concepts. They will exhibit functional independence and confidence in their social skills.

The child friendly and learner centric DHVANI Methodology has been adapted to suit Sri Lanka and implemented with care by our team of qualified and committed teachers. Our teachers have been trained at Balavidyalaya School (Established in 1969) for Young Deaf Children and the Institute for Teacher Training in Chennai India. They are trained in the Diploma for Teaching Young Hearing Impaired (DTYHI), which is recognized by the Rehabilitation Council of India. The RCI has accredited Bala Vidyalaya with an EXCELLENT rating.
