Building Skills & Confidence These April School Holidays

School Holiday Group Programs | 8 - 16 April 2026

At Paediatric Potentials OT, our April School Holiday Groups are thoughtfully designed to strengthen social skills, emotional regulation, communication, teamwork, fine and gross motor development, and confidence - all within a fun, structured and supportive environment.

Each program is facilitated by our experienced occupational therapists, ensuring children not only enjoy the experience, but also build practical skills they can carry into everyday life at home and school.

We have programs available for:

  • Creative Kids (4–6 years)

  • Primary Builders & Gamers (7–11 years)

  • Teen Connect (12+ years)

Many of our previous holiday groups have been extremely well received, with several programs booking out early.
That’s why we’re releasing our April groups ahead of time — so families have the opportunity to plan, organise supports, and secure their preferred session without last-minute pressure.

Places remain limited to ensure a high level of therapist support and quality engagement.
