Childhood Support

Kind, consistent support for children to grow, play, explore, and thrive — with care that’s aligned to their needs, their goals, and their world.

What is Childhood Support?

Childhood is full of learning, discovery, and big emotions — and sometimes, kids need a little extra support to feel confident and safe in the world around them.

At Briighter Care, we provide support that’s tailored to each child’s developmental stage, personality, and sensory or physical needs. Whether your child has a disability, is neurodivergent, or just needs a steady, understanding presence — we’re here to grow with them.

Support might look like helping your child follow routines, practice emotional regulation, build confidence in the community, or simply play in a way that feels safe and supported. Every session is designed with their goals in mind — and yes, fun is always part of the plan.

Aligned Support & Monthly Focus Sessions

We Work Together

We believe children thrive when everyone around them is working together. That’s why we regularly communicate with your child’s OT, behaviour therapist, speech pathologist, or psychologist to make sure our sessions reflect their current learning goals, routines, and strategies.

We introduce monthly themed focus sessions

 As part of this, we run monthly themed focus sessions that build real-life skills through fun, play-based learning.

We believe this helps increase recall, and is also a fun way to introduce complex topics, and repeat these in “real-life” situations.

Session Topics

These sessions may cover topics like:

Road safety, Recognising and regulating emotions, Asking for help, Social interactions and turn-taking and Understanding personal space and boundaries

Reinforcing Learning In Different Environments

Themes can be chosen by BriighterCare or tailored specifically to your child’s goals in collaboration with your therapy team — helping reinforce learning in different environments through gentle, engaging support.

Our Approach

Child-Led and Play-Based

We follow your child’s pace, interests, and personality. Every session is designed to feel fun, safe, and meaningful — because learning happens best through joy and connection.

Aligned With Therapy Goals

We work closely with your child’s OT, psychologist, speech therapist, or behaviour support team to ensure our sessions complement their current goals, strategies, and routines.

Our support workers provide steady, familiar guidance to help your child feel secure and understood. We build trust through patience, predictability, and kindness. We’re here to work alongside your family. We keep you informed, adapt to changes, and create supports that fit naturally into your routines and home life.

We’ll chat with your allied health team (with your permission) and design support around their current therapy plans, goals, or routines.

Yes. We support a wide range of children with different needs — including physical disabilities, neurodivergence, developmental delay, and complex care needs.

Both! Support can happen at home, in the community, or even during transport to and from appointments — depending on your child’s needs and comfort.

That’s okay. We understand big feelings and know how to respond gently and consistently. Our workers are trained in emotional regulation and behaviour support strategies to help your child feel safe and understood.
