The department continues to partner with Museums Victoria to support bespoke and engaging programs that promote Victoria’s Best Start, Best Life early childhood reforms.
Museums Victoria creates world-leading education projects that are aligned with the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework, reflecting a shared goal in ensuring the best outcomes for children.
Connecting with families and children
We worked in partnership with Museums Victoria to support Little Kids’ Week in February. This event saw young learners take part in exciting activities all about building, sight, sound, bounce, balance and imagination. Hundreds of families took part in fun activities that celebrated the power of play.
We’re also supporting Little Kids’ Day In, a program that encourages children aged 5 and younger, and their parents and carers, to head to Scienceworks for a day of robot and coding fun.
And we’re working with Museums Victoria to deliver its Tiny Tours program, which gives children the chance to enjoy a 45-minute tour guided by a learning expert, to explore Melbourne Museum like never before.
We encourage you to promote these exciting programs to your families.
Professional development
Museums Victoria also delivers professional development for early years educators.
The professional development program supports our focus on the recruitment, upskilling and retention of early childhood teachers and educators.
