What Is Sensory Processing Difference?

Sensory processing difference (sometimes called Sensory Processing Disorder or Sensory Processing Sensitivity) refers to a neurological condition in which the brain processes sensory information—touch, sound, light, movement, taste, smell—differently than is typical. Children with SPD may be:

Sensory hypersensitive: Easily overwhelmed by sounds, textures, lights, or crowds that other children tolerate easily
Sensory hyposensitive (sensory seeking): Actively craving intense sensory input like jumping, spinning, squeezing, or touching everything in their environment
Mixed profile: Hypersensitive in some sensory domains and hyposensitive in others simultaneously

SPD often co-occurs with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, anxiety, and developmental delays—but can also present as a standalone difference. Children with SPD are not willfully difficult; their behaviour is driven entirely by how their nervous system experiences the world.

How Daisy Days Creates a Sensory-Considerate Environment

Our educators hold early childhood education credentials and understand that children have genuinely diverse sensory and regulatory needs. Our approach includes:

Predictable daily routines: Consistent schedules significantly reduce anxiety for sensory-sensitive children who rely on predictability to feel regulated
Calm, organized spaces: Our rooms are designed to minimize visual clutter and auditory overwhelm
Sensory-friendly materials: Play dough, sand, water tables, and tactile exploration materials are integrated into daily programming
Quiet decompression spaces: Designated areas where children can self-regulate when sensory overload occurs
Smaller group learning activities: Reduced group sizes during key activities help lower overall noise and stimulation levels
Open family communication: Regular updates about your child’s day, behaviours, and regulation patterns

Working With Your Child’s Therapy Team

Many families of children with sensory differences work with occupational therapists (OTs), speech-language pathologists (SLPs), or behaviour consultants. Daisy Days Daycare actively welcomes collaboration with your child’s therapy team. Our educators can:

Implement sensory diet strategies recommended by your child’s OT
Follow communication strategies from your child’s SLP
Share daily observational notes to inform therapy sessions
Coordinate consistent strategies between home, therapy, and the daycare setting

If your child holds an Individual Support Plan (ISP) or receives services through Saskatchewan’s Pediatric Hospital, a school division, or a regional therapist, please discuss their profile with our director during the enrollment conversation.

CWELCC Eligibility for Children With Special Needs

Children with developmental differences and special needs are fully eligible for CWELCC subsidies at enrolled centres like Daisy Days Daycare. The $10/day average subsidized fee applies regardless of your child’s diagnosis or support level. Additional provincial funding may also be available through Saskatchewan’s Inclusive Childcare Program, which provides supplemental funding for licensed centres supporting children with higher-level support needs.

Pre-Enrollment Conversation: What to Discuss With Our Director

Before enrolling your child with sensory differences, we encourage a conversation with our director to discuss:

Your child’s specific sensory profile and known triggers
De-escalation strategies that work for your child at home
Current therapies and any OT or SLP recommendations in place
How our daily schedule and room environment align with your child’s needs
Any medical, dietary, or allergy-related considerations

Contact us at (306) 807-3233 or info@daisydaysdaycare.com to book a tour and speak with our director confidentially about your child’s specific needs.
