At LEAP Centre, our experienced paediatric occupational therapists help children build the everyday skills they need to succeed at home, preschool, and school.
Located in the heart of Frenchs Forest, we support families across the Northern Beaches, including Beacon Hill, Allambie Heights, Forestville, Belrose, and Dee Why.
We understand that every child learns differently. That’s why our sessions are playful, practical, and tailored to your child’s goals — whether that’s improving fine-motor control, handwriting, attention, or confidence with self-care tasks.
