Sprouts Kindy Readiness Group

Nurturing your child’s growth & transition into kindy

Sprouts is our kindy readiness group, designed by Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists and Physiotherapists to support your child’s foundational skill development. Whether you’re a parent or a dedicated caregiver, this program is your ultimate resource, providing you with strategies and guidance, delivered in a small group setting, encouraging friendships and shared growth.

Program Structure

The dynamic framework is perfect for children aged 3-5 years old, looking to start kindy next year. However it could also be a great opportunity for children up to five who haven’t started kindy yet. Initially you will participate with your child and the therapy team, learning and watching how to directly support your child’s skill development. As the group progresses you will gradually come out of the room while your child continues to practice kindy skills.
