Starting Blocks
Starting Blocks is a new, family friendly resource to provide parents with information about early childhood education and care to help them make the best choice for their child and family.
Starting Blocks is a starting point for families to:
- Learn about children’s developmental milestones
- Understand what to expect from an early childhood education and care service
- Find services and learn about their quality ratings
- Get tips on starting child care or preschool, and what can be done at home to encourage their child’s learning and development.
