A voice on Playgroup

I love our local playgroup for so many reasons, but the one that has surprised me is the most meaningful ... my daughter and I now feel like we are a part of the community

Transition - new educational pathways

  • Key policy documents set the direction
  • Transition defined more broadly and diversely
  • Engagement with our community starts as early as possible

Funders are looking for ways to form trusting and sustainable relationships with families and communities from birth

How we respond

  • Recognition that Playgroups in Schools are an emerging model of practice
  • Look to develop and diversify service delivery e.g. Hubs in remote & isolated areas
  • Educational leadership in birth to 3 years age range with responsive formats and programs
  • Developing a framework to build parenting capacity to support them in their role as a child';s first teacher
