So, what does that mean for families? It means:

✔️ A smoother journey from kindergarten to school, with Kids First’s on-site kinder playing a key role.
✔️ Easier access to health and wellbeing services, so much so that failure-to-attend rates for health appointments have dropped by 30%!
✔️ Extra support for new parents through Baby College, helping families right from pregnancy through their child’s first year.

And we’re not stopping there! This year, Our Place is focusing on getting parents more involved in their child’s education, strengthening trauma-informed learning, and making sure kids get the support they need at every stage.

It’s an incredible example of what can happen when we work together, and we’re so proud of the difference this partnership is making.
