Parents and children will participate side by side, with practical strategies and activities to support school readiness at home.

Sensory Explorers
Ideal for children aged 4–6 years
Sensory exploration plays an important role in early childhood development, supporting children’s ability to learn, regulate, move, play and participate in everyday activities.

- Explore and engage with different sensory activities

Designed to celebrate individual strengths while creating opportunities for meaningful connection and fun.
