Learning Together program
The Learning Together Communities (LTC) program helps families to engage in their children’s learning. This makes a positive difference for both adults and children.
The program offers playgroups and parent education courses facilitated by trained educators. It can help you connect with other families and family friendly service providers.
Focus of the program
We focus on respectful relationships, wellbeing and learning.
The interaction between parents or carers and their children is crucial. We support these interactions by:
- working individually with families
- modelling
- providing an environment and resources for interactions
