Early Childhood Support
Supporting children through play, connection and emotional wellbeing
A gentle, relationship-based approach that connects early learning, development and individual support.
What is Early Childhood Support?
Early Childhood Support provides individualised support for children within their early learning journey, with a focus on development, wellbeing and participation.
Grounded in play-based learning, this approach supports children to build confidence, develop skills and engage meaningfully in their environments.
Support is responsive to each child’s strengths, needs and interests, and may be provided within play sessions, early learning settings or alongside families.
