Our goals are to:
– create 2 free research-based programs that are effective, supportive, user-friendly and relevant;
– provide various ways to access resources in the programs to cater to the various needs and preferences of educators and parents;
– ensure the programs contain ideas from various stakeholders, including educators, family workers, parents and relevant organisations;
– create resources and activities within the programs that support parents and educators work with 2-5-year-olds from defence families;
– evaluate the programs with parents and educators and apply what we learn to improve the programs, and
– conduct research that helps us to measure the effectiveness of the programs.
