Helping South Australian early childhood educators and families strengthen skills and school readiness for all children.
The Everyday Steps to Success Program helps educators and families strengthen children’s communication, motor skills, emotional regulation, and developmental outcomes, using practical strategies to help them transition smoothly and confidently througout their early years.
As an approved provider of the Preschool Boost Program in South Australia, Everyday Independence partners with early childhood centres through our Everyday Steps to Success program. We’ve been supporting children and adults with disability and developmental delay across Australia for more than 25 years, with our team proudly delivering services in Adelaide.

Everyday Steps to Success offers practical, neuro affirming, evidence-based strategies that can easily be embedded into everyday routines, strengthening your existing programming.
