Pathways for Early Learning & Development
Our Pathways for Early Learning & Development (PELD) program, run in partnership with Playgroup Queensland, aims to support children to learn and develop in all aspects in the critical first five years of life.
The program recognises that children learn in both formal and broader family and community settings. Children and their parents/caregivers are engaged in structured playgroups (including pre-prep in Warwick) as well as in-home support.
Our practitioners work in the following communities:
Greater Ipswich: Gatton and surrounds in the Lockyer Valley.
Toowoomba & Greater Downs: Warwick, Stanthorpe and surrounds.
Families can self-refer to the program or be referred by someone else with their consent.
Program activities
