Invitation to virtual Rural and Remote Early Learning Roundtable

As you know, for families in the country, accessing early learning can be extremely difficult – in fact, 3.7 million people living in the country have poor access to early learning, and 1 million have no access at all. Royal Far West is part of a free, online event to find out about changes to the early learning system in NSW that will impact country kids, and to have your say about what further changes are needed.

It will be a fantastic, interactive event, where parents, educators, and anyone living or working in rural and remote NSW will have the chance to be part of the conversation about how we can ensure children growing up in the country get the best start in life.

The details are:

When: Wednesday 22nd February, 2pm – 3pm AEST.

Who should come: Parents, early childhood educators, carers, grandparents, and anyone living or working in rural and remote NSW.
