This group is for children in 4-Year-Old Kinder to Grade 1 who would benefit from early learning, building social relationships and sensory exploration to support classroom success.
To ensure every child feels included and confident, we use visual schedules and neuroaffirming strategies that promote predictability, flexibility, and a sense of safety. The group is run by a Speech Pathologist and the support of a Speech Pathology Therapy Assistant, ensuring activities are both fun and purposeful.
Over the sessions together, children might:
🍪 Cook and bake together – making simple treats like fruit kebabs, muffins, or biscuits while practising following instructions, taking turns, and sharing materials.
📚 Enjoy shared book reading – listening to stories, looking at pictures together, and talking about characters and events to support joint attention, vocabulary growth, and early narrative skills.
🧸 Engage in pretend play and storytelling – running a toy shop, acting out favourite stories, or using puppets to practise turn-taking, imaginative thinking, and early conversation skills.
🧩 Enjoy sensory and cooperative play – working with playdough, building with blocks, or creating group artworks to practise sharing, asking for help, and regulating emotions in play.
🎲 Play simple group games – such as “Duck, Duck, Goose,” “What’s the Time Mr Wolf?” or memory games, encouraging listening, following rules, and learning to win and lose kindly.
💬 Take part in circle time chats – reflecting on the day, practising listening, sharing ideas, and building confidence speaking in front of others.
Each activity is thoughtfully designed to provide natural opportunities for children to practise key social communication skills - such as initiating and maintaining conversations, expressing needs and feelings, working with peers, and navigating group dynamics.
Our holiday group offers a supportive and inclusive environment where children can connect with others, try new experiences, and grow their communication skills - all while having a great time.
Location: Healesville Primary School.
