choose a local Early Learning, childcare or kindergarten centre ( a ‘before school’ setting) 2: use the AEDC and ABS search tools to get as much information as you can about the local area – gather information and write an appraisal of the strengths and needs of the children in this community 3: use the centre website to appraise the services offered at the centre (***You may visit the centre if you choose – please see the documentation you will need to complete BEFORE you go to the centre, this documentation takes at least 5 days to process once submitted to the University – see below) 4: use online searches to determine the services offered in this community – is there a library – do they have sessions for young children, are there parks? Are there parenting programs offered by the council? Are there support groups for parents to maintain their social wellbeing …. 5: consider what additional services could be offered to the children in this area – to meet the needs as indicated by the AEDC data 6: consider how you can access finances to provide those services (eg is there a local council grant scheme, is there a Lions club …) 7: double check the assessment criteria to be sure you have met all the criteria (eg criteria 2 and 3 ask you to outline the Optimal conditions of support for children, parents and families – have you shown that you understand the ideal conditions for children’s development, growth and learning )
