Group Therapy Day Program

Early Intervention

As we work toward opening our full-scale inclusive long daycare centre in 2026, Constellation Kids is proud to offer a Group Therapy Day Program. This program represents the first step towards our future therapy-infused long daycare model and provides immediate support to children with developmental differences and additional needs in the Gympie region.

Our Day Program is designed for children aged 2–5 who require therapeutic support to thrive. It combines small-group early learning with embedded therapeutic approaches, supporting emotional regulation, social development, language, sensory needs, and confidence-building.

A Therapeutic Approach

The Group Therapy Day Program offers more than just play and supervision. This is a pilot program specifically designed for children with NDIS plans. It provides a structured and responsive environment that meets individual therapy goals while also emotionally and developmentally preparing children for future participation in a long daycare or kindergarten setting.

Throughout the day, children engage in supported group play, child-led learning activities, and therapeutic routines. Our qualified allied health professionals ensure the environment is neuro-affirming, trauma-informed, and highly responsive to each child’s needs.

Therapy Within the Program

Children attending the Day Program have access to the following therapy supports, funded through their individual NDIS plans:

  • Occupational Therapy

  • Speech and Language Therapy

  • Play-Based Counselling and Psychology Support

Therapy is delivered both:

  • One-on-one - by qualified clinicians during the Day Program hours, with clear goals linked to each child’s NDIS plan.

  • As a group - with therapeutic strategies interwoven into group activities, transitions, and interactions.

This approach ensures that each child’s developmental and emotional needs are met in a holistic, naturalistic way - reducing the need for separate clinic appointments and allowing therapy to occur in context.

A Stepping-Stone to Long Daycare

This Group Therapy Day Program is the first phase of our larger vision: an inclusive, therapy-integrated long daycare centre opening in Gympie in 2026. Our long daycare model will expand on the Group Therapy Day Program approach, offering full-day care with:

  • High educator-to-child ratios

  • Onsite allied health services

  • A neurodiversity-affirming curriculum

  • Access for all children with additional needs, regardless of NDIS status
