Place of Friends - Woodberry Schools as Community Centre

The Schools as Community Centres (SaCC) program offers a holistic approach to early learning and wellbeing with four key interconnected elements of collaborative service delivery: the early development of children; key life transitions; positive parenting; and safe, healthy and connected communities.

The SaCC program delivers high quality playgroups and other early learning experiences that foster children’s early language acquisition, cognitive development, sense of self and security, emotional regulation and their ability to form positive peer and other relationships.

The SaCC program recognises that parents/carers are the first and most important educators of their children, ‘For all children, the quality of the home learning environment is more important for intellectual and social development than parental occupation, education or income.
