About Care Pathways

Passionate early childhood professionals, working as one team.

We provide services to children in Melbourne's outer east and outer south east, in the places they know best: home, childcare, kinder and school.

How we work with you

We understand that children learn best from people they know and trust, in their own environments such as their home or childcare.

We meet you at home or in other community settings to develop therapeutic strategies you can use within your everyday activities and routines. Your child practises new skills many times a day, and you don't need to find time to visit a clinic.

Family/caregivers

This refers to your child's caregivers, siblings and community team, serving as a bridge to the extended family and community.

Early childhood education & care team

This team supports the lead teacher from early childhood education and care, kindergarten or school by providing valuable information that can help achieve the goals of a child's team on a day-to-day basis. This team is made up of an Assistant Educator, an Inclusion Support Educator, and a Director, all of whom are involved as needed in a flexible manner.

Family & community

Extended family members, close friends, and community activity staff, such as swimming teachers, dance teachers, and sports coaches, who come and go as needed.
