We recognize the importance of early childhood education and its impact on a child's development. Our centre provides early years education programs that celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and foster a love for learning. Through our playgroups, children can engage in age-appropriate activities and interactive sessions that promote cognitive, social, and emotional development while incorporating cultural elements. Our dedicated educators create a nurturing and stimulating environment that honours and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, allowing your child to explore, learn, and grow.

Preparing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children for a successful transition to school is a key focus at CFC. We understand the importance of preserving cultural identity during this pivotal stage. Our transition programs are designed to equip children with essential skills, including literacy, numeracy, social interaction, and a strong sense of cultural pride. We collaborate closely with parents, educators, and the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community to ensure a seamless transition that respects and embraces cultural diversity, while supporting each child's unique journey.

CFC recognize that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families face specific challenges that can benefit from culturally appropriate support. CFC supports families to access specialised and community resources. We work closely with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organizations to provide comprehensive support. Our aim is to empower families to overcome obstacles, strengthen relationships, and create a nurturing environment for their children, guided by cultural wisdom and values.

At Ipswich Children Family Centre (CFC), we are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families.  Through strengthening cultural identity, and incorporating cultural practices into our programs, we aim to empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents and caregivers to create a loving, supportive, and culturally rich environment for their jarjums. Join us on this journey and make a real difference in your jarjum’s life.
