Child development using DIRFloortime®

Supporting Central Coast children and their families for over 10 years.

I’m Megan King, Director of Engaging Interactions, Early Childhood Intervention Practitioner and Key Worker with over 25 years of experience supporting children with diverse abilities. With a Bachelor of Education and a lifelong passion for helping young children grow, I’m deeply committed to empowering families and nurturing each child’s unique strengths and potential.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked alongside families in their homes, communities, and early learning environments. I step into the world of children and families not with a one-size-fits-all plan—but with curiosity, respect, and a deep belief in the potential of every child.

My work is grounded in a strong understanding of child development and informed by the DIRFloortime® approach—a relationship-based, strengths-based approach that meets children where they are and helps them develop through joyful, meaningful interactions. I use this approach to foster connection, communication, and growth, always tailoring my support to each child’s interests and abilities.

As a Key Worker, I walk beside parents, helping them navigate services, access support, and feel confident in their caregiving journey.

Whether I’m helping families navigate the journey of caring for a child with diverse developmental needs, building collaborative plans with other professionals, or simply playing on the floor with a child, my goal is always the same: to support children in becoming confident, capable, and connected individuals.

Thank you for visiting. I’m honoured to be part of the journey with the children and families I work with, and I look forward to learning more about how I can support yours.

Warmly,
Megan
