TenderCare’s Under 8 Program: Building Strong Foundations for a Brighter Future

Early childhood is a time of rapid growth, learning, and discovery. At TenderCare Disability Services, we understand that the right support during these early years can make a lasting difference. That’s why our Under 8 Program is designed to nurture development, build confidence, and create strong foundations for a brighter future.

Through personalised, family-focused care, TenderCare supports young children to develop essential skills while empowering families every step of the way.

Why Early Support Matters

The early years play a critical role in shaping a child’s communication, social skills, independence, and emotional wellbeing. TenderCare’s Under 8 Program focuses on early intervention—providing tailored support that helps children reach their potential in ways that feel natural, positive, and encouraging.

By addressing individual needs early, we help children build skills that support:

* Learning and development

* Confidence and independence

* Social interaction and communication

* Emotional regulation and wellbeing

A Program Designed Around Each Child

At TenderCare, no two children are the same—and neither is their support. Our Under 8 Program is built on a person-centred approach, ensuring each child receives care aligned with their unique strengths, goals, and developmental needs.

Support plans are developed collaboratively with families and may include:

* Assistance with daily routines and early learning

* Skill development through play-based and structured activities

* Support to build communication and social interaction

* Guidance that promotes independence and confidence

Every plan is flexible and evolves as the child grows.

Supporting Families, Not Just Children

We believe meaningful outcomes are achieved when families feel supported, informed, and included. TenderCare’s Under 8 Program works closely with parents and carers to ensure they feel confident in their child’s support journey.

Families benefit from:

* Open communication and regular updates

* Guidance tailored to their child’s needs

* A trusted team that listens and adapts

* Support that complements everyday family life

By partnering with families, we create a supportive environment where children can thrive.

A Safe, Nurturing, and Inclusive Environment

TenderCare is proud to be empowered by cultural diversity and inclusion. Our Under 8 Program provides care that respects each child’s background, language, and identity, creating a space where every child feels safe, valued, and understood.

Our team delivers support with patience, compassion, and professionalism—ensuring children feel comfortable as they explore, learn, and grow.

Skilled Support Delivered With Care

Our Under 8 Program is delivered by trained, dedicated support professionals who understand the importance of early childhood development. Through ongoing training and best-practice care, TenderCare ensures children receive high-quality support that prioritises safety, development, and wellbeing.

Growing With Your Child

Children’s needs change—and TenderCare grows with them. As skills develop and goals evolve, our team reviews and adapts support to ensure care remains relevant, effective, and aligned with each child’s progress.

This flexible approach ensures children continue to receive the right level of support at the right time.

Looking Ahead: A Brighter Future Starts Today

TenderCare’s Under 8 Program is about more than early support—it’s about creating opportunities, building confidence, and supporting children to step into the future with strong foundations.
