In-Home Play Programs Built Around Your Child
Antics brings one-to-one, sensory-friendly play sessions across the Lower Mainland, directly to your home. Your child plays in the room they already know, with one dedicated play guide, doing something built around what they actually like. The first 45-minute visit is free.
Finding local children’s activities that genuinely support a neurodivergent child can be an overwhelming challenge. Most traditional community centre programs, sports leagues, or art classes expect children to conform to standard structures, leaving families looking for a more inclusive, flexible, and non-judgmental environment.
Our specialized 1-on-1 programs bring sensory-friendly, educational play right to your door. By matching activities perfectly to your child’s unique interests, we create a safe environment where they can build real confidence without pressure.
Autism Spectrum
Predictable structures, sensory-aware pacing, and customized play matches based on their favourite characters, topics, or stories.
ADHD Support
Dynamic, hands-on activities that channel high energy into rewarding, creative milestones without forcing compliance.
Sensory Processing
Carefully metered exposure to textures, movement, or sounds at a pace that keeps your child feeling entirely safe.
Anxiety & Shyness
Slow, non-intrusive trust-building. We treat your home as a sanctuary where they can step out of their comfort zone safely.
Special Needs Teens
Age-appropriate, dignity-first activities designed for older youth and teens looking for connection, motor skill focus, or hobbies.
Developmental Delays
No comparison metrics. We celebrate every milestone by tailoring the play entirely to their physical and cognitive comfort zone.
What to Expect From In-Home Sessions
Getting started is intentionally simple. You book a time, tell us your child’s current passions and sensory boundaries, and your dedicated play guide handles the rest. We supply all the materials, set up, and wrap up every session.

Book if it clicks
Sessions run weekly, bi-weekly, or as one-offs, whatever suits your family. Nothing is locked in.
Sessions run between one and two hours and act as an alternative to group environments. By providing engaging, screen-free activities directly in your living room, screens naturally lose their grip while emotional regulation grows.
There is no commute, no crowded waiting room, and no expectation to perform in front of a group. We bring the structure when it helps and follow your child’s lead when that works better.

Before you book
Is this babysitting?
No! Antics is a tailored activity program offering unique, interest-led experiences for neurodivergent youth. Activities are designed to be meaningful, engaging, and fun, not just supervision.
Is this an autism program?
Antics is an inclusive, autism-friendly and ADHD-friendly play program for neurodivergent kids and teens ages 4 to 18. We are not a therapy clinic, ABA provider, school, or daycare. A dedicated play guide brings sensory-friendly, interest-led activities to your home. Your first 45-minute discovery session is free.
Is this therapy?
No. Antics is all about fun. While our activities can naturally support skills like confidence and self-expression, we do not provide therapy or behavioural intervention. Our goal: give children space to explore, create, and enjoy themselves.
What if my child doesn’t want to participate?
Participation is always encouraged, but never required. Children are welcome to observe, engage partially, or take time to feel comfortable. Our play guides are patient and nonjudgmental, every session meets your child where they are.
A Unique Approach to Inclusive Growth
We do not track clinical deficits, and we do not issue generic scorecards. We meet your family exactly where you are. Over time, consistent validation from an experienced mentor helps children develop stronger fine motor skills, social confidence, and self-regulation.
Our experienced play guides follow your child’s lead, offering gentle pacing and predictable transitions with no diagnostic reporting or performance expectations.
