Every child deserves support that’s tailored just for them! 💜

We’re so grateful for feedback like this from families who have experienced the impact of our Portage service. 🌟

Portage is a home-visiting educational service for pre-school children with additional needs and their families. Rooted in strong partnerships with parents, Portage works to build on a child’s strengths, celebrate small steps of progress, and create personalised learning plans that fit naturally into everyday life.

Guided by key principles - working in partnership with families, recognising the uniqueness of every child, focusing on strengths, and supporting learning through play - Portage empowers parents and helps children thrive.

When support is tailored, consistent and compassionate, the difference can be life-changing. 💙

Families, we’re here for you! 💛 Our Portage Help & Support Line is open every Tuesday, 1–3pm. Whether you have questions, need guidance, or just want a friendly chat about your child’s development, we’re ready to help.

Love is in the air! 💕

At sensory group is all about exploring, creating, and connecting. The next few weeks our theme is valentine's day!

Sensory play supports emotional expression, builds motor skills, encourages communication, and helps kids feel calm and engaged through hands-on experiences.

Learning through the senses makes every moment sweeter ❤️✨

Attaching fun sucker characters to the car = big smiles and even bigger learning!

Brilliant use of the pincer grip for fine motor development, plus lovely auditory and proprioceptive feedback as they pop off 👌🎶

Play with purpose 💛
