The AEDI Community Profile for Whittlesea 2011 Stated: “ The way to make meaningful changes to improve outcomes for the most vulnerable children is to address multiple environment risk factors rather than just focus on single issues.” Hence we focus on all five areas, or domains, of early childhood development: physical health and wellbeing, social competence, emotional maturity, language and cognitive skills (school – based), communication skills and general knowledge. (AEDI 2011)
Why has LRSH been successful • Not allowing barriers to prevent attendance • It’s not rocket science, but unless you are genuine, authentic and warm in ALL your engagement with families and their children you cannot develop trust and rapport to give you the privilege to work with families. These families face many challenges in their everyday life and their parenting so we need to earn the right to model parenting and assist them in their role as first educators. • Once trust and rapport was developed we could start to use incidental opportunities to engage parents, model parenting skills, impart information and knowledge • Developed rapport with Teachers and school staff • Shared highlights and improvements with <strong>School</strong> Principal and Council • Linked playgroup families with the local community and services, such as PVCH, MCH, Library, bank, Swimming pool, Fire Station, Community Connections, The Smith Family
