The Sunflower Book
Growing Together
A companion to the WA Purple Book
A gentle field guide toearly development.
Practical focus areas across five developmental domains, with activities, materials, therapist input and family support for children ages 0 to 5.
Five developmental domains
Each domain contains focus areas with milestones, activities and guidance for the whole team around the child.
Who this is for
Sunflower HQ was built for the people walking alongside a child’s early development, whoever that may be.
For Parents & Carers
You know your child better than anyone, but the terminology, the reports and the “what now?” moments can feel overwhelming. This is a plain-language reference to help you understand developmental domains, spot what to watch for and feel more confident in conversations with educators and therapists.
For Educators
Whether you’re in long day care, kindy or the early years of school, this gives you a quick, practical touchpoint, activities and focus areas mapped to EYLF outcomes, so you can support every child’s development with confidence and consistency.
For Allied Health Professionals
A shared reference point makes collaboration easier. Use this as a bridge between clinical language and everyday family life, something you can point parents and educators to that reinforces, rather than replaces, your professional guidance.
