Helping Families Navigate Developmental
and Learning Challenges Together
Practical developmental and educational support for Melbourne Families
with coordinated care from early intervention to teen success.
When your child is facing developmental or learning difficulties,
it can be hard to know where to start,
especially when support services feel out of reach
Uncertainty about what steps to take next, from assessments to early intervention support
There’s no clear link between home, school, and other education settings
You’re facing long waitlists and conflicting opinions from different professionals
No coordinated approach between care providers, therapists, and teachers
Every child is unique, every family situation is different, and every challenge requires a coordinated approach
We’ll work alongside you, providing extra support, knowledge, and coordination in areas like literacy, emotional regulation, social development, and school readiness, helping your child thrive at every stage.

Meet Belinda
As both a mum of three and an educational practitioner with over 16 years of experience, I understand the challenges and the hopes that come with supporting a child’s growth. I’ve been on both sides of the table: as a parent advocating for my own children, and as a professional providing education support services, early intervention, and guidance for Melbourne families with children from early years through to teens, navigating the school system.
My approach is simple but powerful: observe, listen, plan, advocate, and evaluate. Every child is different, and every family brings their own story. My role is to work with you to create practical, tailored strategies that make a real difference.
What our families say
The Learning Tree (TLT) is an essential service for me as a busy parent who was unfamiliar with the school system. TLT gave me an understanding that there were further opportunities that could be provided by the school to support learning outcomes of my child. They then worked with me and the school to change policy for not only my child but for all children within the school.
Belinda’s kind, caring and professional approach put me at ease, which made for an effortless and straightforward process.
Belinda and her staff at TLT bring years of experience working as teachers throughout all levels within the school system so they have knowledge of school curriculum, policies and procedures & working with children of all levels including those with special needs.
I highly recommended The Learning Tree!
