About Us

Joyeux provides development and educational services to children with special or additional needs across Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and the wider Malaysia area. We specialise in Early Intervention and Educational Therapy and help children with a wide range of conditions or challenges that create barriers in their learning and overall development.

We fully appreciate that trying to navigate the challenges of any special needs or development issue with your child can be frustrating, stressful and even worrisome at times. However, as specialists in all aspects of childhood development, we work to create a plan that will help find the best route ahead for your child.

So if your child requires any assistance in overcoming any barriers within their development, we encourage you to get in touch to see how our services can be of benefit.

Within the current generation, children are exposed to tablets, iPads and other smart devices. It is now part of our everyday lives. Instead of when and how to limit tech use for kids, Joyeux’s direction is to include and utilise devices for visual learning, reading, drawing and watching videos.

In fact, technology can be incredibly beneficial, especially in terms of improving children’s communication with their parents, and ensuring children stay up to date with the latest learning trends.

With physical teaching and E-learning as well as the input from our expert therapist, I believe the entire concept will help our kids to grow effectively and leave no one behind in this new world of technology.
