Early Learning Groups

  • Each day at the centre, our therapy assistants and qualified Early Childhood Educators facilitate two specialised small group workshops.
  • These workshops allow children to practice therapy goals with peers and to participate in evidence-based program such as the PALS social skills program that teaches children about greeting others, listening, sharing, taking turns, dealing with feelings of fear, sadness and anger, and solving problems. Children also practise flexible thinking & work on school readiness.
  • Our play and learning workshops have been created around the early years learning curriculum and the education framework.
  • We have a strong emphasis on play-based learning and we recognise the importance of communication and language (including early literacy and numeracy) and social and emotional development.
