Thriving Kids

Welcome to Thriving Kids, an Occupational Therapy Service located in Balgownie, Australia. Our institution is dedicated to supporting children and their families in the Illawarra region, helping them effectively participate in the activities that are meaningful to them. Our goal is to ensure that every child can be included in their communities, play, live, socialize, take care of themselves, and learn to their highest potential, ultimately thriving in all aspects of life.

Owned and operated by Belinda van Wel, Thriving Kids is committed to providing exceptional care and support to children of all ages. Our team of experienced occupational therapists are passionate about helping children overcome challenges and develop the necessary skills to navigate daily life successfully.

We are excited to announce that Thriving Kids will be piloting a nature-based occupational therapy group program during the September 2022 holidays. This program will focus on developing motor skills, resilience, problem-solving, and collaboration through engaging nature-based play. By immersing children in the wonders of the natural world, we aim to create a nurturing environment that fosters growth, creativity, and a love for outdoor exploration.

In addition to our group program, we offer a range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of each child. Our highly skilled therapists provide individual therapy sessions, working closely with children and their families to address specific challenges and promote overall development. We also offer pre-school teacher, school, and parent training workshops upon request, aiming to empower educators and caregivers with valuable knowledge and strategies to support children's growth and well-being.

At Thriving Kids, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. Our dedicated team is committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment where children can reach their highest potential. If you're seeking expert support for your child's occupational therapy needs, we invite you to contact us today. Together, let's help your child thrive and unlock their full potential.
