Children and Family Services Pathways to Preschool playgroup is for children who are too young to attend preschool or unable to attend preschool. Priority is given to children from the following demographic groups:
- children with a disability
- Aboriginal children
- children from low income families
- children from a culturally and linguistically diverse background
- children who are at risk of significant harm (from a child protection perspective)
- socially isolated families
Research has shown that caring, supportive environments that promote early childhood development increase a child’s chances of a successful transition to school, leading to better educational, employment and health outcomes
Start Strong Pathways
In partnerships with the NSW Department of Education we help support the early learning needs of young children by offering families a pathway into early childhood education. These services also help expand a child’s social horizons beyond family and home-based interactions.
