• Our approach

  EarlyEd uses a family-centred approach to delivering early intervention services that is responsive to your family's concerns, priorities and choices. Sessions are tailored to suit your child's specific needs and can take place in various settings including individual appointments, group sessions, playgroups, and in community environments like childcare centres and schools. The team works flexibly to offer their skills in varied ways—whether through home-based services where daily routines and your own toys and activities are used for practice, or through centre-based and school-based programs. Strategies are designed to be inclusive and adaptable, with staff helping families learn how to support their child's development across all the environments where they spend time.

• Working with families

  EarlyEd prioritises communication and partnership with families, working together to plan goals and identify the outcomes parents want for their child. The service provides regular opportunities to review goals with your team, and families are encouraged to focus on planning for the years ahead. The team supports families across different settings—home, school, preschool and community—teaching strategies that can be incorporated into your child's daily routines. EarlyEd also offers a range of parent training programs and workshops covering topics like behaviour support, language development and parenting strategies, along with support groups where parents can connect with others and share experiences.
