Supporting sensory and motor development through the ACE Programme
At the foundation of the ACE Programme is a strong focus on sensory-motor experiences – because how children experience the world through their senses plays a vital role in their overall development.
We’re committed to meeting each child’s unique sensory needs. By offering play-based, movement-rich experiences that are individualised to each child’s sensory profile, we support the development of their sensory integration – the brain’s ability to take in, organise, and respond to information from the senses.

Creating a sensory-supportive environment
In the ACE Studio, our indoor and outdoor spaces are designed to be sensitive and responsive to each child’s individual sensory needs.

We continually introduce new materials and opportunities that gently challenge and extend each child—so they can grow, adapt, and thrive through joyful, supported experiences.
