A Spotlight On…

Laidley Community Centre

For many years, members of the Laidley community recognised the need for better resources to support new parents, especially those facing extra challenges and hardship.

With the employment of a dedicated early-childhood worker, Laidley Community Centre is now well-placed to deliver its Early Connections initiative aimed at improving early development outcomes for children up to five years.

This new position, funded by the TFFF for three years, plays a key role in providing coordinated, evidence-based training for early years educators and community leaders.

Research shows that not only is the age from birth-to-five the most critical for brain development, but it is also the most important time period for family bonding and developing values. To ensure optimum growth is achieved during this period, a child needs loving relationships and a fun, stimulating environment to thrive
- Playgroup Queensland

The early-childhood worker will work to build the capacity of existing playgroups in the region, establish a baby playgroup at the centre and present at a range of community events to share messages about child safety and wellbeing.

The Early Connections initiative will increase opportunities for parents to connect with early-intervention services and improve learning outcomes for young children preparing to transition to school. It will also support the professional development of early childhood workers by providing access to resources and training to increase skills, knowledge, and networking capabilities.

A word from Laidley Community Centre

Funding from the Tim Fairfax Family Foundation has helped Laidley Community Centre to employ an early-years worker who can draw together resources and deliver programs to address the needs of vulnerable children and families

Play-based activities help young children and their parents learn skills and engage with other families, contributing to stronger communities.
