School Holiday Program
Over the past year, our School Holiday Program has been providing children with enriching and supportive opportunities to connect and grow during the school break. Running for two hours a day, over 4 to 5 days a week, the program has received enthusiastic feedback from both children and parents. Many spontaneous friendships have blossomed, and we have observed great progress in social interactions. Our small group sizes of 4-6 children allow us to create a nurturing environment tailored to each child’s unique needs.
​
The program also helps us identify children who would benefit from joining regular peer groups during the school term, ensuring a smooth transition into more consistent social experiences.
​
Program Focus
Our goal is to create a space where children can successfully and joyfully engage with their peers while feeling supported and understood. We aim to foster an environment where children can remain regulated and actively participate in peer interactions, building on their strengths and interests.
​
Program Focus
​
We offer three tailored programs to meet the diverse needs and developmental stages of the children we support:
-
Social and Communication Program:
This program is designed for children of all ages to develop their communication and social interaction skills in a supportive and engaging environment. Activities are structured to encourage meaningful connections and collaborative play. -
Mobility Development Program:
Aimed at school-aged children, this program focuses on enhancing gross motor skills through play and physical activities. It provides a fun and inclusive space where children can build confidence in their physical abilities while interacting with peers. -
Self-Management Program:
Targeted at children in upper primary school or high school, this program supports the development of self-management and community skills. It empowers children to practise self-regulation and engage in community-based activities with greater independence.
Children are grouped according to their developmental stage and age, allowing us to create individualised support plans that match their unique needs. This approach ensures that each child can participate meaningfully and experience success in social and peer-related activities.
​
During the two-hour sessions, children participate in a variety of indoor and outdoor activities, including physical games, arts and crafts, and sensory experiences. We also incorporate snack times, which provide opportunities to work on any feeding challenges and practice group mealtime interactions.

Strategies to enhance your relationship with your child, maximising the potential of every interaction.
