WholeFlow™ Inclusion Co
Honouring the Whole Person, Every Day
WholeFlow Inclusion Co began as WholeChild Flow™ — grounded in early childhood education and a simple but powerful belief:
When people feel safe, seen, and supported, they thrive.
As the work evolved, it became clear that these principles extend far beyond early learning. Children, adults, families, educators, and support workers all exist within interconnected systems shaped by relationships, environments, identity, and emotional experience.
WholeFlow Inclusion Co was created to honour those systems.
Our approach blends calm, flexible practice with evidence-informed frameworks inspired by ecological and relational theories. We look beyond behaviour to understand the context around each person — their relationships, their environment, their culture, and their emotional world.
This holistic perspective supports meaningful, respectful practice across early childhood, disability, and community care settings.
A Holistic Philosophy Rooted in Connection
WholeFlow Inclusion Co is not simply a collection of templates or tools — it is a way of seeing and responding to people.
Our philosophy centres on:
-
whole-person understanding
-
emotional safety and regulation
-
identity, agency, and belonging
-
strong, respectful relationships
-
culturally responsive practice
-
flexible, person-led approaches
-
calm, reflective environments

connection before correction
Everything we create is designed to support environments where people feel safe, valued, understood, and supported to engage in ways that honour who they are.

The WholeFlow Inclusion Co Framework
A relationship-centred philosophy for understanding behaviour, communication, and regulation
The WholeFlow Inclusion Co Framework is our guiding philosophy for how we understand, support, and respond to people — beginning in early childhood and extending across education, disability, and community care settings.
It is grounded in connection, emotional safety, identity, and whole-person understanding.
This framework informs everything we create, everything we teach, and everything we recommend in practice.
Understanding the Individual Within Their System
Inspired by ecological systems theory, WholeFlow Inclusion Co recognises that behaviour and wellbeing are shaped by interconnected systems.
Each person’s microsystem may include:
-
family and carers
-
educators and support workers
-
culture and community
-
friendships and peer relationships
-
physical and emotional environments
-
developmental and regulation needs
When these systems are understood and respected, responses become more empathetic, effective, and sustainable.
Created With Practitioners in Mind
WholeFlow Inclusion Co was shaped by the day-to-day realities of education and care.
We understand the complexity of:
-
documentation and accountability
-
communication across systems
-
diverse needs and abilities
-
family relationships
-
emotional labour
-
mixed abilities, ages, and environments
-
regulation — both personal and shared
Our resources are intentionally designed to feel light, calming, and supportive — never overwhelming. We focus on clarity, connection, and gentle simplicity to help professionals feel more regulated, capable, and confident.
Meet the Creator — Madeline Durant
Founder of WholeFlow Inclusion Co
Hi, I’m Madeline — an Australian educator with a deep passion for connection, emotional development, and relationship-centred practice.
WholeFlow Inclusion Co grew from lived experience — from the realities of education and care environments where emotional needs, communication differences, and complex systems intersect every day.
What began as reflective practice within early childhood settings grew into a broader framework designed to support people across the lifespan. My work is grounded in calm routines, flexible practice, genuine relationships, and deep respect for each person’s story.
My hope is that WholeFlow Inclusion Co supports you to feel more grounded, confident, and connected in the work you do.
