Music boosts learning, language and regulation.
A Preschool Boost program delivered by Registered Music Therapists and Speech Pathologists, helping South Australian children build communication, confidence, social skills and readiness to learn.
Access the framework behind how we use music.
When your centre chooses to work with Creative Therapy Adelaide through Preschool Boost Flying Start, you are not only booking sessions. You are gaining access to our proprietary Music Integration Approach and the learning behind it.
Across the 10-week program, our clinicians show educators how music can be integrated with purpose to regulate, engage and motivate children in their own preschool environment. Educators see the approach modelled, understand why it is being used and receive practical ways to continue it between sessions.
Motivate
Music can spark interest, draw attention in and support children to begin participating.
Engage
Rhythm, repetition and predictability can help children stay involved and sustain participation.
Regulate
Music can support children to calm, energise or transition more smoothly into learning.
Your centre receives practical support to keep using the Music Integration Approach throughout the program and in everyday preschool life. The goal is not simply to deliver a visiting activity, but to build educator understanding and confidence around purposeful music use.

CTA brings qualified allied-health expertise into the preschool environment. Children participate in meaningful group support while educators see strategies modelled with their own children, routines and environment.
Child-facing delivery plus educator learning
Children receive support in the room while educators observe, practise and adapt strategies that relate directly to their own preschool setting.
Two allied-health disciplines in one service family
CTA offers Registered Music Therapy, Speech Pathology and a limited combined pathway for centres whose goals cross communication, language, regulation, participation and social development.
Local South Australian continuity
CTA is based in Torrensville and brings local delivery experience, existing centre relationships and established operational systems to Preschool Boost planning.
