Good Start Early Learning Centre
Lifestart partnered with Good Start Woodcroft for a twelve month support package, delivering practical inclusion training ‘on the floor’ as well as professional development sessions for the educators and staff. Following the partnership, Good Start educators said they felt more confident in supporting children with disability to participate and learn. “A beautiful relationship with Lifestart helped us manage things in the room and helped us to support children as they needed” said Vishu, one of their Early Childhood Educators. See for yourself in this case study video below…
Kids Sensory Music Café
Lifestart supports performances of Kids Sensory Music Café at the Sydney Opera House. This show introduces music and live performance to young children and their families. Lifestart families are given the opportunity to attend a relaxed performance, enhanced by sensory toys and a safe environment to explore during the performance. This is followed by coffee and cake and the opportunity to network and chat with other families.
True Grit
Lifestart and The Australian Ballet engage young people interested in the performing arts to participate in a dance and stage performance program. Participants enjoy group classes and build up to a live performance in front of family, friends and peers on the stage of the Sydney Opera House. Young people are given invaluable experience in the performing arts industry working with some of the biggest name companies in Australia.
We would like to thank the following partners for their ongoing support of our work.
