Ashton's Place Immersive Learners – Tarneit VIC

Ashton’s Place Limited is a charitable foundation that supports autistic children aged between 3 and 6 years old. The Autism Connect Early (ACE) Programme operates across five early childhood centres, providing early childhood support for children and their families.

The programme aims to promote skill development and meaningful participation within the early childhood setting through naturalistic, relationship-based supports. We aim to meet children where they are at; understand the reasons behind behaviour; provide individualised regulation and communication supports; build social connection and relationships; and support children to achieve their individualised goals.

Assisting in leading a classroom by fostering meaningful connections with educators, families, children, and the wider community to deliver a tailored educational program that meets the unique needs of each child.

Showcasing your sound knowledge of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and National Quality Standards (NQS).

Upholding the highest standards of compliance with Government Regulations and centre policies, ensuring our commitment to quality remains unwavering.

Building valuable networks with local stakeholders to enrich the community experience.
