Looking for meaningful activities for your child during the school holidays?
At LEAP Centre on the Northern Beaches, our school holiday programs are designed to support children’s development while keeping sessions engaging, fun, and purposeful.
Whether your child would benefit from individualised therapy intensives or social skills support, our holiday sessions provide a valuable opportunity to make real progress in a short period of time.
Why Consider Therapy During School Holidays?
School holidays are the perfect time to focus on your child’s development without the demands of school routines.
Holiday programs allow for:
- Increased consistency and frequency of therapy
- Faster skill development through repetition
- Reduced fatigue compared to after-school sessions
- A more relaxed, play-based learning environment
👉 Many families are surprised at how much progress can be made in just a few sessions.
Individualised Intensive Therapy Programs
Our intensive therapy programs on the Northern Beaches are tailored to your child’s specific goals and needs.
Delivered by experienced speech therapy professionals and occupational therapy specialists, these sessions may focus on:
- Speech and language development
- Articulation and speech clarity
- Early language skills
- Social communication
- Emotional regulation
- Fine and gross motor skills
What Makes Intensives So Effective?
Intensive therapy allows children to:
- Practice skills more frequently
- Build momentum and confidence
- Consolidate learning more quickly
👉 Instead of one session per week, children benefit from multiple sessions across a short period, leading to stronger outcomes.

These small, supportive groups help children:
- Build friendships
- Develop conversation skills
- Learn turn-taking and cooperation
- Understand social cues

Sessions are:
- Structured and therapist-led
