Kids First has been supporting Northern Beaches children and families since 2007, offering face-to-face therapy that empowers children to flourish, not just cope.
We understand that raising a child with developmental, learning, behavioral, or social challenges can be overwhelming. Many of our staff have been through similar experiences, giving them a deep understanding and empathy for the families we serve.
Our team of speech therapists, occupational therapists, child psychologists, and teachers work collaboratively under one roof, ensuring each child receives a personalized therapy plan that addresses all areas of development.
To date, we have helped 19,536 children and supported 6,604 parents, hosting 280 community service events to educate and empower families across the Northern Beaches.
We offer a comprehensive range of services, including speech therapy, occupational therapy, psychology counseling, disability support, assessments, and early intervention programs. Each service is designed to meet the unique needs of children while supporting their families.
Founded by teacher and best-selling author Sonja Walker, Kids First was created to provide local families with the support she wished was available when her own child faced challenges. Her vision continues to inspire our team today.
At Kids First, we see you, we understand you, and we’re here for you. Our mission is to empower children to thrive while giving parents the confidence, guidance, and tools to support their child’s journey.
