EARLY YEARS EDUCATION REVIEW

Last week, the Minister for Families and Children Jenny Mikakos launched a two-month state-wide consultation to build a shared vision for the future of early childhood health, development and learning in Victoria.

Parents, teachers, carers and early childhood professionals are all encouraged to get involved and contribute their ideas for how
to create a truly outstanding system.  Music education makes a vibrant contribution to early childhood development, yet many children miss out on regular formalised learning in music - so please get on board.
