Children under 6
An early start to learning in a caring and supportive environment has long term benefits for children with a disability, their family and the community.
Early intervention groups
These groups are for babies, toddlers and preschoolers who have a diagnosed disability or delay in development, or who are at risk of a developmental delay, and their families.
Long day care
Learning Links Early Education and Care provides a unique long day care and preschool service for children 3 months to 6 years in a central Sydney city location. We are committed to helping your child reach their individual potential.
Occupational therapy
Occupational therapy for children under six helps them become independent by reviewing their play, feeding, dressing, toileting, bathing and hand skills. We also look at your child’s coordination and posture. The aim is to help your child participate fully in the things they do every day and to involve parents in learning about the development of their child.
Paediatric assessments
Diagnosing developmental concerns opens the way to parents having a greater understanding of their children’s needs and helps children be the best that they can be, earlier. The paediatrician offers assessments of child development, developmental delays, ADHD, learning difficulties and Autism spectrum disorder at a reduced fee.
Physiotherapy
When a child has a disability or delay in development, a physiotherapist can work with the family to find ways to help children learn to move independently play actively and participate in recreation and family life. They can assist children with physical access to environments, sourcing specialised equipment or adapting environments to improve a child's access.
Playgroups
Learning Links’ playgroups are informal gatherings where mums, dads, grandparents, caregivers, children and babies meet together in a relaxed environment. Both adults and children are there to take part in some serious playing and learning! Early childhood educators, therapists or social workers are present to educate parents and to answer any concerns you may have with your child.

Share to learn
