Six reasons centres choose Ready Kids
A partnership that grows with your centre.
We understand how complex, busy, and full each day in childcare centres are. That's why we meet your centre where it is.
Whether it's a single visit or an ongoing partnership, every step is built to help your educators grow real, lasting skills. We're ready to keep growing alongside you for as long as it helps.
01 — Where the work happens
Coaching inside your own rooms.
Our OTs come into your rooms and work with your educators to support the children, including the child who finds mat time overwhelming, the one who's always on the move, the children your team has been wondering how best to support.
Coaching visits are supplemented with strategy reports tailored to your room, suggesting practical strategies your team can put to use straight away, shaped around your children, your environment, and where your educators are at.
- ✓On-the-floor coaching with registered OTs
- ✓A strategy report tailored to your room
- ✓Strategies shaped around your children, environment and educators
02 — Support that doesn't leave
An OT all year round.
The hardest questions don't just come up during a visit. They surface at 2pm on a Thursday, when a child is dysregulated and an educator needs an answer straight away.
That's why our support doesn't pack up when the visit ends. Educators keep access to an OT all year, through live Q&As, open office hours, and a private community where every question gets a real answer from a registered OT.
- ✓Fortnightly live Q&A sessions with OTs
- ✓Open office hours — drop in when you need help
- ✓Private educator community moderated by OTs
03 — Partnering with every room
One partnership lifts every room.
When you partner with Ready Kids, every educator at your centre gets access. On-the-floor coaching, online courses, live sessions, recordings, and our community. One partnership reaches your whole team.
Because every room shares the same OT-informed approach, the strategies your nursery and toddler educators use carry straight through to kindy. As children grow up in your centre, the support around them stays consistent. The same strategies, the same shared language, the same standard of care at every age.
Every room
Nursery to kindy, one standard across your whole centre.
Every educator
One partnership covers your whole team, so every educator learns and grows together.
One price
Simple partnership pricing, built for centres, not seats.
04 — Ready-to-use resources
Resources ready to use.
Your educators already have limited time thinking and creating experiences for children, let alone hunting for visuals, piecing together social stories, and coming up with novel game ideas.
The Ready Kids Resource Toolbox gives your whole centre unlimited access to OT-built video activities, printables, handouts, and classroom visuals organised by skill, ready to print before morning tea.
- ✓OT-built visuals, printables & video activities
- ✓Organised by skill and developmental goal
- ✓All educators get access
05 — Current best practice
Using current best practice.
New research and practice guides what we do. Our occupational therapist passes this information to your educators. Children thrive when the support around them reflects what we understand today about development, regulation, and inclusion.
Every OT at Ready Kids is a registered Australian OT, who has experience working with children, and is actively practising current best practice. This includes neuro-affirming, evidence-based, and inclusion of every child. Your educators learn to use the best practice strategies they can feel confident about. This also means families can trust.
