Jacqueline Emery, Royal Far West (RFW) CEO recently facilitated a Thrive by Five event showing federal leaders why universal access to early learning would help more country kids to thrive.
At RFW, we advocate for greater access and more early intervention services for families living in rural and remote Australia. Improving access to early childhood education and care for every child and family is a crucial part of making this happen. This is particularly important for children outside of major cities – where the early learning and childcare crisis is even more dire and leaves two in five children developmentally vulnerable by the time they start school.
Country kids deserve the same opportunities as city kids to start school strong. Learn more about our work with Thrive by Five via our website.
