Training & Education for Schools and Services
At Nurture & Thrive, we offer professional development to support schools, early childhood centres, and learning teams in creating inclusive, neuro-affirming environments. Our training is delivered by experienced Occupational Therapists and based on evidence-based, up-to-date information, with a strong focus on sensory processing, emotional regulation, and strategies that help tamariki and rangatahi participate, learn, and thrive.

Schools and Kura
We offer professional learning for teachers, SENCOS, learning support teams, and leadership staff. Topics may include understanding the sensory systems, recognising signs of dysregulation, supporting movement needs in the classroom, and building whole-school strategies to support all learners.
Teacher Aides and Support Staff
We provide tailored series designed for teacher aides and learning support staff. These sessions are practical and hands-on, offering real-life examples and strategies that support sensory regulation, co-regulation, and participation, especially for children with complex or high-support needs.
Kindergartens and Early Childhood Centres
We offer professional learning for teachers, SENCOS, learning support teams, and leadership staff. Topics may include understanding the sensory systems, recognising signs of dysregulation, supporting movement needs in the classroom, and building whole-school strategies to support all learners.
Responsive to Your Needs
We can tailor the content and format to suit your setting or service—whether that’s a one-off staff session, a series across the term, or support around a specific child or group of learners or clients.
