Early Development Program
What is the Early Development Program (EDP)?
The Early Development Program offers excellent, small group support for children with a Developmental Delay or Disability. The aim of EDP is to support the inclusion of a child into regular early childhood setting and in the transition to school. The program currently operates half day sessions at Lapstone Preschool. Each session caters for six children. A Special Education Teacher and an Educator works with families to provide an ideal learning environment for each child. Children who attend EDP are offered intensive individual and small group programming in consultation with families and other professionals involved with the child. Children who attend EDP may attend Lapstone Preschool, other early childhood centres or not be enrolled in a centre.
Who can enrol in the Early Development Program?
The Program is ideally situated for families in the Blue Mountains and Penrith areas. EDP is licensed for children to attend from 3 years of age. Families may put their child’s name on a wait list. Any child with a Developmental Delay or Disability who requires extra support to attend an early childhood centre or school, may attend. Families may enrol their child into the program or a child may be referred by a doctor, therapist or other professional. The EDP playroom and facilities offer easy access.
How is the program implemented?
The program is planned weekly in consultation with the family to best suit the individual needs of the children and their families.
When a child attends EDP, they have opportunities to:
- access developmental assessments with written reports on one or more areas of their development, and referrals to other professionals if required.
- experience and develop skills in preschool activities and routines in a small group setting.
- participate in games and activities in which skills are broken down into small achievable steps.
- extend and generalise their new skills as the family, teachers and others work in close collaboration.
- experience inclusion in a larger group with opportunities to join the regular Lapstone Preschool program.
- gain support in their transition to appropriate placement at school.
- receive an individual plan.
