Group Therapy Day Program
Early Intervention
In 2025, Constellation Kids successfully concluded an 8-week pilot program with 10 children aged 2–4. The pilot was based on our Group Therapy Day model and explored how small-group early intervention, combined with embedded therapeutic supports, could meet the needs of young children with developmental differences. The outcomes from this program are now informing the design of our future inclusive long daycare project.
Program Overview
The Group Therapy Day Pilot Program was designed for children aged 2–4 who required therapeutic support to thrive. It combined small-group early intervention with therapeutic approaches that supported:
Emotional regulation
Social development
Language and communication
Sensory processing skills
Confidence and independence
Therapy Within the Program
The program provided more than play and supervision. It offered a structured, responsive environment tailored for children with NDIS plans, aligning directly with individual therapy goals while preparing children for future participation in long daycare or kindergarten.
Children took part in:
Supported group play
Child-led learning activities
Therapeutic routines that promoted developmental growth
The program was delivered by allied health professionals within a neuro-affirming, trauma-informed, family-centred environment.
Children accessed therapeutic supports through their individual NDIS plans, which included:
Occupational Therapy
Speech and Language Therapy
Play-Based Counselling and Psychology Support
Therapy was provided both:
One-on-one with clinicians, targeting personalised NDIS goals
In groups, with strategies woven naturally into daily activities and play
This ensured therapy occurred in context, supporting children in ways that were practical, relevant, and effective.
Looking Ahead
The Group Therapy Day Program served as a stepping-stone toward our future vision of an inclusive, therapy-integrated long daycare centre. The learnings from this pilot have laid a strong foundation for expanding into a full model that will offer longer days, higher educator-to-child ratios, onsite allied health services, and a curriculum that celebrates neurodiversity while supporting all children to thrive.
