Sylvanvale recently held an open day for a new children’s service called Communities Around Kids. The program aims to provide regular, high quality care for young children with multi-faceted disabilities, as well as offering early intervention strategies and support to families in crisis. The service will be a home away from home for the child and it will also be the centrepiece of a community around the child, which will include families as well as siblings, staff and practitioners.

General Manager of Sylvanvale’s Children’s Services, Leanne Fretten, said “Communities Around Kids is a great new service that will offer peace of mind, support and care for children with disabilities and their families.”
