Introducing Village
The Belconnen – A Village for Every Child initiative puts children at the heart of our community. Every child deserves the best start to life.
The first few years of life are critical to a child’s development. Positive experiences during early childhood (pre-birth to 5 years) promote strong social, emotional and cognitive development, as well as overall health and wellbeing.
It takes a Village to Raise a Child
The long-term goal of this initiative is to transform early childhood systems across Belconnen.
Belconnen – A Village for Every Child acknowledges that it takes a village to raise a child and works collaboratively with families, communities, child and family support providers, and government agencies to identify and address the issues facing young families.
By working together, our community is stronger, more connected and better placed to meet the needs of children and families.
