Planning for the future
We are continuously planning for the future, to support our families to raise healthy, happy and confident children.
Boroondara Early Years Strategy 2008-2013
Council has endorsed the Boroondara Early Years Strategy 2008-2013, which informs the future direction and development of services for families with young children.
The development of the strategy involved extensive consultation with children, families, service providers and other key stakeholders, data and demographic analysis and a literature search.
The key themes to emerge include:
- the benefits of strengthening collaboration and coordination of the early years service sector to streamline support and access for families
- opportunities to strengthen local networks and multidisciplinary teams
- the benefits of collaboration and integration of service provision.
