Where children flourish

Plumtree is a not-for-profit, community-based organisation that helps families thrive.

Trusted for over 30 years, we provide free centre-based playgroups and online parent education workshops. We also provide therapies and support for children aged birth to 8 years with a disability or developmental delay and their families. At Plumtree Preschool, children of all abilities and cultural backgrounds learn together and begin to understand the value of inclusive communities.

Our award-winning, evidence-based programs and resources help families take control of their own learning and achieve positive outcomes. Plumtree’s passionate, culturally diverse team of specialists work from the heart in a caring environment where families feel respected and informed.

Testimonials from our community

I would like to express my gratitude to Plumtree, the staff, team and peers who run workshops for families. Parents at times, might need validation of the work they are doing (or trying to implement), run out of ideas or simply need to learn or adjust to new strategies. It is great to know that Plumtree as an organisation believes in families and wants the best for children.

I am very grateful and look forward to growing, sharing and learning more as a parent who has a supportive team of professionals around me and my child.
