How this is delivered
Everyday Steps to Success is an evidence based early childhood program that supports children’s development through inclusive, play-based group learning. It is delivered by a team of qualified professionals such as teachers, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, physiotherapists, behaviour support practitioners, who work collaboratively to embed therapy into everyday routines and early learning environments. This approach helps children achieve positive, lasting change. The program integrates intentional teaching strategies into everyday routines, transitions, and group experiences, enhancing current practices rather than adding extra layers. Educator development is a key focus, using a strengths-based coaching model that includes:
- real-time modelling of inclusive strategies
- observation with feedback
- reflective practice and smart goal setting
- team-based problem-solving
- peer coaching and scaffolded support tailored to experience levels.
Small group sessions offer flexible, differentiated learning aligned with each child's needs, while also promoting consistent, collaborative approaches across the whole centre.
