Parkville Institute is working with three service providers to build the evidence base using replication of the effective ECEC program for children living with significant social disadvantage and family stress.
Parkville Institute is also working with Cullunghutti Aboriginal Child and Family Centre, NSW, SNAICC – National Voice for our Children and Social Ventures Australia to co-develop, trial and evaluate a new intensive ECEC model for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, called Boori Milumba which means child shine in the local language. The program is evidence-informed, culturally grounded, holistic and responsive to community strengths, aspirations and need.
Parkville Institute is partnering with Melbourne Institute to conduct the outcome evaluations of the replication and co-developed programs.
