We Rock the Spectrum - Moorabbin

We Rock the Spectrum is committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment to foster learning, exploration and safe sensory experiences. We are also a hub for fully inclusive classes, therapy groups and parent/carer activities, to support families with children of all abilities.

OPEN PLAY

We offer Open Play daily, which is when children are welcome to enjoy full use of our sensory-safe gym with parent supervision. Our gym features therapy equipment, an arts & crafts area, a calming room, and more.

We have a range of activities for kids no matter what they like. Our toddler section is filled with toys from trusted companies such as Melissa and Doug. Or if your child is more ambitious, he or she can jump on our trampoline or zip down our zip line. There’s plenty to do in our indoor play gym — the best part being that weather doesn’t affect playtime!

We are an inclusive facility. This means that the programs and services we offer are designed to include children of all abilities. Our equipment has been specifically chosen so that children with autism or special needs can benefit from using it. Neurotypical children will also find our gym to be a safe and fun place to play! We are the only indoor play facility that caters to children of all ages, from 1 month to 12 years! We believe in accommodating everyone.

WHY WE ROCK

We Rock the Spectrum Kids Gyms was founded to provide a place for children of all ability levels to play and grow together. As the only kids gym that offers an inclusive philosophy we have found all children can benefit from our uniquely designed sensory equipment that is specifically designed to aid children with sensory processing disorders. However, in our experience, all children are able to benefit greatly from this equipment and by allowing children of all ability levels to play together they are able to learn a great deal from each other and become the best motivation for success on every level.

THE EQUIPMENT

The staff at We Rock the Spectrum Kids Gyms are comprised of the most caring, understanding and energetic people around. We have a host of staffers and volunteers who come to us in order to assist our gym and its goal of aiding children with special needs in growing beyond the expectations of doctors and therapists.

Often a therapist for a child with special needs will attend the gym with the children in order to observe and provide their therapy while using the equipment in our gym. This allows kids the access they want to the amazing equipment while the therapist is able to take advantage of the support and availability of the staff and equipment which might not be present in other settings.

ABOUT US

We want to make a difference in our community and provide a space that is easier to be in for all families, particularly those with children with additional needs. We want this space to be a place where children of ALL abilities play together and where the barriers to differences are broken down and where acceptance is high on the agenda.

Our family knows firsthand how difficult an outing can be with a child with special needs and the challenges that come with basic day-to-day functions. For this reason, We Rock the Spectrum Kids Gym is coming to Melbourne’s Southern Metropolitan Region. We hope it to be a hub of play, nurturing, acceptance, inclusion and friendships, a place where everyone feels safe to be themselves.

As an educator in secondary school for 18 years, my enthusiasm to teach and make a difference is still strong and I cannot wait to transfer my skills and knowledge from the teaching profession over to WRTS Kids Gym Moorabbin. Having dedicated the early years of diagnosis to our son’s early intervention program and learning about how best to support him and help him develop and thrive in a world that is not always conducive to his needs, I cannot wait to create this inclusive, safe haven for all families and children so that they may grow and develop in this beneficial, calm environment.

Looking forward to meeting you all!
