KU Starting Points Penrith

Welcome to KU Starting Points Penrith - Early Childhood Intervention and Support Service! Located at 69 Derby Street in Penrith, Australia, we are a dedicated establishment that provides early intervention and support to families with young children aged 0-8 years who have disabilities or developmental delays. Our services cover the Penrith, Lower Blue Mountains, and Outer Western Sydney areas.

At KU Starting Points Penrith, our professional team is committed to working closely with you and your child to help achieve the goals and outcomes you have for your child. As an approved NDIS service provider, we are able to assist your child in areas such as communication, learning, movement, and play. We also provide support to your child's school, early childhood center, and community settings to ensure their meaningful participation. Additionally, we offer assistance during important transition times in your child and family's life, such as entering educational and community settings.

Our approach is highly individualized, and in consultation with you and your child's therapists, we provide specific play experiences that cater to your child's unique needs. We value your family as an integral part of our team and strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment.

Families can utilize their child's National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funding if eligible for any of the services provided by KU Starting Points. Our team can provide you with information on how to access the NDIS and develop goals for your child. For more information on NDIS, please visit www.ndis.gov.au.

We take great pride in the support services and programs we offer, but the opinions of our families matter most to us. One parent shared, "This program offers a great service to children and families. The practical support and advice is priceless. The staff are understanding, willing to listen, and offer a different perspective that supports me in being a parent of a child with additional needs."

At KU Starting Points, we believe that the best outcomes for children are achieved through meaningful relationships and interactions. We strive to create beautiful, interesting, and homelike learning environments for children, regardless of the setting. Our Specialized Early Intervention Family Program, held at the Kingswood Neighbourhood Centre every Thursday during school terms, provides a welcoming and engaging space for families and their children to learn, play, connect with others, and receive valuable support from our staff team.

We offer flexible support options, including key worker and therapy supports, which can be provided at your home, your child's school or early childhood center, family day care, or a local community setting. We also have a room available for families to use as a meeting or therapy room within the KU Penrith Preschool, if that is a preferred option.

Our dedicated team at KU Starting Points Penrith includes an Early Childhood Teacher with special education and family support experience, an Occupational Therapist, and a Speech Pathologist. We work closely with other therapists, early childhood intervention services, pediatricians, as well as teachers and carers at your child's school or care settings to ensure holistic and comprehensive support.

Rest assured that our team is highly qualified, experienced, caring, and motivated. We firmly believe that the positive interactions children have with our staff are the most important aspect of the high-quality support we offer.
