Thriving Kids support for community organisations

We know your families trust you.

They already come to your playgroup, neighbourhood house, family program or community space because they feel welcome there.

The question now is whether your team can confidently support children who struggle with regulation, movement, sensory needs, play, participation and inclusion.

The practical solution

Regulation and Inclusion Certification for Community Teams

The Play Move Improve Inclusion and Regulation Certification gives your team a practical framework for supporting children in real community settings.

It does not ask your staff to become therapists. It helps them understand what they are seeing, respond with confidence, adapt play, support families and create group environments where more children can take part.

Are you an educator, allied health provider or school team?

This Thriving Kids hub has been written for community groups and not for profit organisations. If you need training or support for an education or allied health team, email Robyn and she will point you to the right pathway.

Many community organisations are already trusted by families. That is your strength. Parents come through your doors because they feel seen, welcomed and connected.

But the children who will need support through Thriving Kids are not always easy to include in a busy group setting. Some run from the mat. Some hide behind their parent. Some knock toys over, cover their ears, refuse to join in or melt down when the room changes.

Staff are usually trying hard. They are kind, committed and stretched. What they often need is a clear, practical way to understand regulation, movement, sensory needs, play and participation before small moments become big concerns.
