Changing Trajectories: Insights on an Intensive Early Childhood Education and Care Model for Children Living with Significant Family Stress

Mar 24 2025

During this webinar, we will explore early findings from Parkville Institute’s replication of the Early Years Education Program (EYEP) - an early childhood education and care program that has delivered remarkable outcomes for children experiencing significant family stress and social disadvantage.

We will share key findings from the Implementation Insights Report and discuss these with our panel of service delivery partners. Topics will include:

the program’s early impacts on children, families and educators, and;
insights, learnings and enablers for implementing this model effectively.

EYEP was initiated by Kids First, previously the Children’s Protection Society (CPS), an independent not-for-profit child and family services organisation based in the north-east of Melbourne which was founded in 1896. The program was designed and implemented by CPS in collaboration with Associate Professor Brigid Jordan and Dr Anne Kennedy.

STEM Hour: Supporting Transitions through Place-Based STEM Learning

When children move between home, early learning, and school, they often face new people and expectations. Children’s confidence in these transitions will depend on whether they feel a strong sense of connection between and belonging in each space — and STEM is a powerful tool to support this.

STEM Hour: Integrating Arts into STEM for Meaningful Exploration

In early childhood, STEM learning builds on children’s prior knowledge, encourages collaboration, and nurtures creative thinking — making it a natural partner to the Arts.
