What does this program focus on?

We focus on 4 main areas:

Personal Development

A nurturing, inclusive environment where children feel safe to express themselves, explore emotions and build confidence.

Emotional Awareness & Regulation

Support children to recognise emotions, develop regulation strategies and respond more confidently in social situations.

Social Skills & Communication

Build peer interaction, turn-taking, collaboration and communication skills in small, supported group settings.

Confidence & Self-Expression

Encourage creativity, self-belief and independence through art, movement and play-based learning.

Do parents/guardians need to attend?

No — parents and guardians are not required to attend sessions.
Kids Connection is designed to support children to build confidence, independence and social skills within a small, supported group environment.

Having space to engage without a parent present allows children to practise communication, emotional regulation and peer interaction more naturally, while feeling safe and supported by our trained facilitators.

We’ll keep you informed of your child’s progress and are always available to discuss goals, outcomes and support needs.

Where is the program located?

Kids Connection is currently delivered in Dayboro.

Some sessions and experiences may take place within the local community as part of our supported community participation focus.

Transport support can be arranged on an individual basis where required and aligned with your child’s NDIS goals.

We’re also in the process of rolling Kids Connection out to additional locations — if your area isn’t listed yet, we encourage you to register your interest so we can keep you updated as new locations open.
