Question 1: choose a local Early Learning, childcare or kindergarten centre ( a ‘before school' setting)

Question 3: use the centre website to appraise the services offered at the centre (***You may visit the centre if you choose - please see the documentation you will need to complete BEFORE you go to the centre, this documentation takes at least 5 days to process once submitted to the University - see below)
Question 4: use online searches to determine the services offered in this community - is there a library - do they have sessions for young children, are there parks? Are there parenting programs offered by the council? Are there support groups for parents to maintain their social wellbeing ....
Question 5: consider what additional services could be offered to the children in this area - to meet the needs as indicated by the AEDC data
Question 6: consider how you can access finances to provide those services (eg is there a local council grant scheme, is there a Lions club ...)
Question 7: double check the assessment criteria to be sure you have met all the criteria (eg criteria 2 and 3 ask you to outline the Optimal conditions of support for children, parents and families - have you shown that you understand the ideal conditions for children's development, growth and learning )
