LIBRARY GRANT SUCCESS

The CRC is excited to announce that is has been awarded a grant through the State Library of WA to conduct a Better Beginnings program.

“Stories, Rhymes and Fun Times” will be launched in July 2022 and include weekly sessions where children aged 0-5 and their caregivers will be provided with a safe and welcoming environment to explore rhymes, stories and activities to engage all involved.

Sessions will also be delivered via Zoom to increase the opportunities for participation for families at home.

The program will be taken further afield to various community events as well as partnering with Playgroup and the Early Learning Centre.

Stay tuned for further details about this exciting project.
