MyCare Keeper is committed to providing the needed support and quality care for young children and their families.

The Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) approach was introduced by the NDIA in 2016 to support children aged 0-6 years who have a developmental delay or disability and their families and/or carers.

The ECEI approach supports families to help children develop the skills they need to take part in daily activities and achieve the best possible outcomes throughout their life.

We focus on integrating supports to meet your child’s needs across various settings, including your home, their preschools, playgroups, and their early years of school.

Our Early Childhood Supports include:

• communication and functional assessments
• speech and language therapy
• physiotherapy
• occupational therapy
• counselling, psychology, and psychiatry
• music therapy
• early childhood education and care
• life stage transition, i.e. preparing your child for kindergarten
• social and individual skills development
• training, coaching and mentoring families and carers on how to contribute to their child’s development and education
• social and community participation
• capacity building supports
• nursing care
• support coordination

MyCare Keeper’s early childhood supports are based on best practice, and family-centred interventions, with a focus on providing quality evidence and research informed advice and information to the families and children with developmental delay or disabilities, regardless of their diagnosis.

At MyCare Keeper, we appreciate the importance of professionals from different disciplines collaborating to improve the outcomes of the children under our care. Our Early Childhood Transdisciplinary Team have the skills, knowledge, and expertise to support your child on their journey toward achieving their potential. Our diverse team of professionals include physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, psychologists, psychiatrist, paediatric nurse, occupational therapists, educators, social workers, music therapist, and importantly, the child, their family and support network.

Our qualified Early Childhood Key Worker will be your key contact to support your overall needs. Your Key Worker draws on the expertise, skills and knowledge from within the Early Childhood Transdisciplinary Team and will work with you, your child and support network to extend their learning opportunities and support their needs in the best way that suits them. Our Key Worker will monitor and review your child’s development, link you to services and answer any questions you may have.

We will work closely with you when planning interventions, setting goals, and developing strategies for your child, so they can be independent and participate fully in their daily life and community, and achieve the best outcomes.

We focus on your child’s strengths, abilities, and potential to empower them to reach their goals and milestones. We ensure that all our supports are individualised, responsive, and culturally inclusive.

With our early childhood support service, we strive to optimise learning, development, and social participation, so that your child thrives in the same environment as their peers.
