Who We Are

Holmeside School

Holmeside School Nairobi Kenya is the best multi-cultural day and boarding special needs education school.  We educate children with developmental and specific learning disabilities. We handle developmental disabilities such autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, mild cerebral palsy and mild down syndrome. Likewise, we adequately support children with specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia (reading disability), dyscalculia (arithmetic disability), dysgraphia (handwriting disability) among others.

Holmeside School Nairobi Kenya offers an adapted version of the International British Curriculum starting from Kindergarten to High School. Therefore, our approach to teaching is built upon the understanding that each child learns differently and this resonates with our values and beliefs that each child’s potential is unique. Thus, we develop a holistic individualized education plan (IEP) to enhance each child’s cognitive, social, behavioral, academic and vocational skills.

We strive to build trust and cultivate formidable relationships with each learner because as Dr. Nicole Beurkens illustrates in her child behavior plan workshops, Adult- Child relationships are literary the foundation of all cognitive, communication, social, emotional and behavior development. Therefore, Holmeside School Nairobi Kenya always strive to provide an enabling and therapeutic learning environment to each learner since it is our job to nurture their unique potential and develop any budding talents.

What is a Sensory Circuit?

A sensory circuit is a form of sensory integration intervention. It involves a sequence of physical activities that are designed to alert, organize and calm the child. The sensory circuit aims to facilitate sensory processing to help children regulate and organize their senses in order to achieve optimum level of alertness necessary for effective learning. Sensory circuits should ideally be completed in the morning to help children settle and engage better in classroom or at different times of the day as part of a sensory diet to help children regulate.

What is Brain Gym?

Brain Gym is a series of movements done with the intention to “wake up” the brain or stimulate brain functions. It involves exercises designed to help the brain function better during the learning process. These exercises are based on the idea that certain simple specific physical exercises help blood flow to the brain thus making the brain stay alert. Examples of Brain Gym exercises include: Brain Buttons, Cross Crawl, Lazy Eights, Positive Points etc.
