Working with tools you will more than likely already have around the house. Creating safe emotional spaces for your family, toileting advice, handwriting activities, preparing for Prep, and so much more. We have been collecting and collating our ideas for years.

How The Sunflower Movement & Jump Up For Kids Work Together
At Jump Up For Kids, our commitment has always been clear: to support children in becoming healthy, confident, and contributing humans — and to do it in a way that honours childhood through movement, play, connection and time outdoors.
As our practice has grown and evolved, so has our impact. That’s why we’re excited to introduce you to The Sunflower Movement — a new initiative that has grown from the heart of Jump Up For Kids.
The Sunflower Movement is our way of sharing the knowledge, tools and values that guide our therapy work with a wider community of educators, caregivers, and service providers across Australia. It’s a national movement dedicated to creating environments where all children can thrive — not just those receiving therapy.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN
FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY?
You’ll still receive the same high-quality, outdoor-based Occupational Therapy support from our passionate and experienced team at Jump Up For Kids.
Our core values — Flexibility, Imagination, Excellence, Respect, Collaboration and Empowerment — remain central to everything we do.
We’re now partnering with The Sunflower Movement to help create a healthier world around your child — one where educators, carers, and communities are better equipped to support development in everyday life.
