Who are we?
Our Project, driven by the Aboriginal families we serve, supports a key strategic activity for continued strengthening and enhancement of Aboriginal early childhood development and nurturing families. I look forward to hearing the voice of Community through this Project and I welcome the support of Project partners Emerging Minds and Playgroup SA in this important work.
