Building everyday skills with play, connection, and confidence.

 

Developmental Education is all about helping children grow the skills they need to thrive; at home, at school, and in the world around them.
 

At The Nurtured Village, our Developmental Educator Georgia works alongside children (and their grown-ups!) to build practical, emotional, and social skills through hands-on, playful, and relational support. We meet children where they’re at — and move at their pace.

What We Support

 

Our developmental education sessions are tailored to each child’s unique needs, strengths, and interests. Support might include:

  • Building routines and independence (like getting dressed, packing a bag, or using the toilet)

  • Learning how to handle big feelings and develop emotional regulation tools

  • Practicing social skills like turn-taking, communication, and making friends

  • Strengthening fine and gross motor skills through play and movement

  • Preparing for school transitions or community engagement

  • Developing functional life skills like following instructions or managing tasks

 

We don’t rush, we build trust, celebrate small wins, and keep things playful, engaging, and developmentally appropriate.

How It Works

Developmental Education is collaborative — we work closely with parents, carers, and other professionals in your child’s team to ensure consistency and progress.

Whether sessions are in the clinic, in your home, or out in the community, we focus on creating real-world success that builds confidence and independence.

No worksheets. No shame. Just playful, person-centred support that actually works.

Who It's For

Our Developmental Education services are perfect for:

  • Neurodivergent children (Autism, ADHD, PDA, etc.)

  • Children needing extra support with independence, transitions, or daily routines

  • Families looking for practical, relational strategies that stick

  • Kiddos who benefit from hands-on, movement-based learning

Available In:

  • Nuriootpa Clinic

  • Community settings (home, school, or local spaces)

  • Online 

Real skills.

Real connection. Real-life support.

We’re here to help your child feel capable, confident, and celebrated — just as they are.

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal land. We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
