The program builds educator capability to create language-rich environments with play-based resources by providing:

• reflective printed journal to support everyday preschool routines
• self-paced micro-learning sessions and
• online live support.

Educators receive resource packs: TalkiPlayer devices, smart interactive stickers, structured language games to support:

• expressive & receptive language
• social participation and
• peer interaction.

After training, early childhood service staff deliver the program within their own preschool setting. The program is designed for Tier 1 universal whole-service use and Tier 2 targeted small-group support. It aligns primarily with communication skills and general knowledge, with secondary support for social competence.

Expected outcomes:

• improved educator understanding of diverse communication and early communication development
• improved ability to implement evidence-informed, play-based strategies supporting verbal and non-verbal communication, listening and articulation
• improved connections between learning opportunities, routines, transitions, play and environment and
• improved inclusive practices that strengthen children’s engagement, confidence, social skills, play and peer interaction.

The program is delivered through a blended model combining educator professional development with educator-led implementation in the preschool setting.

Educators complete self-paced micro-learning modules of approximately 20-30 minutes each, supported by video content presented by Kathryn Marrington, Certified Practising Speech Pathologist. Services also receive online live communication support, a printed reflective learning journal, downloadable resources and technical guidance.

Each service receives a resource kit containing TalkiPlayer devices, smart interactive stickers, structured language development games and learning resources. An iPad is required to operate the app-based component and is not supplied.

After training, educators embed TalkiPlay into everyday preschool programming, including small-group learning pods of approximately 3-5 children, whole-group experiences, transitions, outdoor learning, intentional teaching sessions and thematic play. Sessions are typically 15-30 minutes and may be delivered one to two times per week, with flexible shorter use across daily routines.

Ongoing implementation support includes 1:1 communication support sessions, setup assistance, how-to videos, downloadable guides and email support.

Cost reflects a complete online, self-paced professional learning & implementation program.
