A Unique Early Childhood Center 

Conductive Education Wellington Trust is a unique Early Childhood Centre founded to provide Conductive Education and Early Childhood Education to children with motor disorders up 6 years of age.  Licensed as a Charitable Trust, this partnership of Conductive Education and Early Childhood delivers an educational programme based on the principles of both Conductive Education and Te Whaariki.

Our staff, consisting of a qualified Conductor and Early Childhood Teachers, assisted by trained support staff, deliver unit-based programmes and provide support services for the inclusion of the children in community early childhood centres as well as support services for their families. The staff are child-focussed and responsive to the aspirations of a child’s family or whanau.

Our Conductor plans a comprehensive programme with the assistance of other staff members, focussing on coordinating physical, cognitive and emotional factors of learning. The programme incorporates all daily living activities and addresses the needs of the child towards independence. The programme is structured to challenge children with motor disorders and other associated disabilities.
​Delivery of the Conductive Education programme is usually within a group.

Family Involvement

Family involvement is vital in the setting of goals for their child’s learning, as well as any other parties who are involved in the child’s immediate health and wellbeing. Education for the child’s carer is important to enhance their understanding of the child’s condition and their needs, to ensure a high quality of life in the community. This is facilitated through the inclusion of parent/caregiver in the class setting during the early stages of the child’s attendance and through continued consultation.

Staff offer specialist advice to professionals, work in collaboration with them and the family/whanau towards achieving the highest level of learning and development for the child.

The Trust is committed to assist the staff to meet the needs of the child, their family or whanau through sound financial and management practices.  Staff are encouraged to meet their professional and personal goals through support with training, resources and time.
