LITTLE TREASURES

Little Treasures Holiday Programs – Easter & Spring

Little Treasures is one of our inclusive kids programs for children with disabilities and their siblings, designed to provide a joyful, supportive, and faith-inspired environment. Rooted in the love of Christ, this holiday program helps children grow in confidence, explore their faith, build friendships, and simply have fun together.

Faith. Inclusion. Celebration.

We offer two special programs each year:

Little Treasures Easter – A three-day program in the Autum school holidays that takes children on a journey through the Easter story, sharing a different part each day through worship, storytelling, and hands-on activities.
Little Treasures Spring – A three-day holiday program in the spring school holidays filled with Bible stories, prayer, music, creative workshops, and sensory-friendly activities.

What to Expect at Little Treasures

🔹 Sensory-Friendly Group Time – Worship, prayer, engaging Bible stories, and interactive games.
🔹 Small Group Activities – Tailored programs that meet each child’s abilities, including sensory-friendly and hands-on learning experiences.
🔹 Recreational Play – Fun, accessible games and creative activities that encourage inclusion and connection
🔹 Creative Activities – Crafts, singing, and dancing that encourage expression and joy.
🔹 Special Workshops – Exciting sessions led by external providers, including:
🎶 Dance and drumming workshops
🌸 Flower arranging
🎨 Creative crafts
🐾 Animal encounters
🔹 Closing Group Time – A retelling of the day’s Bible story in a fresh way, worship, a blessing, and a joyful send-off.

Encouraging Faith & Participation

At Little Treasures, children aren’t just passive listeners—they are active participants in their faith journey. We encourage each child, whether they have a disability or not, to share their gifts, encourage others, and express their faith in ways that are meaningful to them.

A Place Where Every Child Belongs

We believe that every child is a treasure in God’s kingdom. Little Treasures is more than just a holiday program—it’s a safe, secure & welcoming space where children feel valued, supported, and included, no matter their abilities.

All program leaders and Mentors have completed Disability Awareness and Safe Ministries Training to ensure a supportive and secure environment and each child is paired with their own mentor who is a student in Years 9-12. This Mentor provides guidance, encouragement, and companionship throughout the program.

SIBLINGS

Embracing Ministries Siblings Program

The Embracing Ministries Siblings Program is dedicated to children and teens who have a sibling with a disability or additional needs. We recognise that being a sibling in this unique role comes with both joys and challenges, and Embracing Ministries offers support, fun, and connection which focuses on the sibling.

With one event a month, usually on a weekend, siblings can come together to share experiences, build friendships, and enjoy activities designed just for them. This program provides a safe and understanding environment where they can relax, have fun, and feel seen and valued.

Join us to connect with others who understand your journey and be part of a supportive community that celebrates you!
