Preschool Boost

Empowering Families and Educators for Positive Early Childhood Outcomes

At I Can Jump Puddles, we offer three evidence-based programs through our Preschool Boost initiative to support children aged 0–8 in preschool and early learning settings. These programs work together to build the capacity of families and educators, promote inclusion, and support developmental and social-emotional growth.

Our Preschool Boost programs include:

Now and Next – a parent-led program that empowers families to set goals, build strengths, and take charge of their journey.

The Pyramid Model – a tiered framework that supports educators to create calm, inclusive learning environments and promote social-emotional development.

Allied Health Supports – in-preschool services delivered by our team of allied health professionals, embedding strategies into everyday routines to enhance participation and development.

Together, these supports offer a holistic and collaborative approach to early intervention and inclusion.

Now & Next

Now & Next is a parent-led program that equips families of children with disability or developmental delay with tools to set goals, build strengths, and take charge of their journey. It combines Positive Psychology, Strength-Based Coaching, and the innovative Pictability tool to foster resilience, connection, and lasting impact.

Pyramid Model

The Pyramid Model supports early childhood educators to create calm, inclusive learning environments using a tiered, whole-of-service approach. It strengthens educator capacity to promote social-emotional development and respond effectively to behavioural challenges through universal, targeted, and individualised strategies.

Allied Health Supports

Allied Health Supports deliver flexible, in-preschool services for children aged 0–8 using a key worker model. Our team of speech pathologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, developmental educators, social workers, and early childhood educators work collaboratively to build inclusion, participation, and developmental progress.

Guided by Early Childhood Intervention Best Practice, the program embeds strategies into everyday routines through educator coaching, family partnerships, and our 3Es approach—Empowering families and educators, drawing on Expert input across disciplines, and embedding support into the Everyday.
