Linking Schools and Early Years Research Snapshot: Engaging Families
“Children learn in the context of their families—the primary influence on children’s learning and development (DEECD, 2009).”
The Murdoch Children’s Research Institute together with The Royal Children’s Hospital (Melbourne) Centre for Community Child Health have launched the third Linking Schools and Early Years (LSEY) Research Snapshot – Engaging Families.
The Linking Schools and Early Years project ran from January 2007 until December 2012. Within that period, the project aimed to contribute to the long-term aim that all children arrive at primary school ready to engage and continue their early learning and development. The project worked towards three specific goals:
1. Children and families make a smooth transition between early years services and schools
2. Early years services and schools actively connect with families
3. Schools are responsive to the individual learning needs of all children
