The information that informs the work of Child Friendly Alice is organised around the ARACY Nest, and began with the development of a Community Profile using public data (like the AEDC) and the voices of over 1000 Alice Springs people.

This ‘localised’ information helped to identify areas of priority within each ARACY Nest area. All of the organisations involved in Child Friendly Alice know their work can be linked to at least one of the ARACY areas. Each has a strong focus on children at the centre. All have a commitment to engaging and utilising voice from Aboriginal families and community.

Join Marly Wells, Manager Family and Community Engagement, Connected Beginnings Alice Springs as she describes how Child Friendly Alice is working with community and through the Nest to improve wellbeing for the children and young people of Alice Springs.

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.

STEM Chemical Reactions Workshop

This workshop explores the fascinating relationship between chemical reactions and language development in early childhood. Come along to learn how to recognise chemistry in children’s everyday lives, find opportunities for age-appropriate chemical exploration, and explore the pedagogy behind language development through STEM inquiry.
