Sensory Groups
The Cree Centre has a well-equipped sensory room. The sensory room has lots of sensory lighting including a large bubble tower light, fibre optic lights, ceiling lights and an interactive projector light. The popular interactive projector light projects lots of different images onto the floor in the sensory room. The images are interactive so they can be moved and manipulated providing a very unique sensory experience.
We also do lots of sensory groups such as messy play, sand and water play, tuff tray play and small world play. We have lots of sensory toys, a smells box and a large sensory tent.
