A play-based program supporting Queensland families to talk, read, sing and play with their babies and young children in the first 5 years.
Richmond | Fortnightly on a Wednesday | 10am - 11am
Running at a much steadier pace to Playgroup, First 5 Forever is a lovely program for parents/caregivers to connect with their little ones through talking, singing, reading and playing. Even if you are not comfortable singing, we still strongly encourage you to attend as babies and young children thoroughly enjoy listening to music and watching others.
In the first years of life a human brain develops at its fastest. Family life and early experiences are important for healthy brain growth. Research shows that simple things like talking, reading, singing and playing with children from birth have positive impacts that last a lifetime and this has flow on benefits for the whole community.
“First 5 Forever is an initiative of the Queensland Government, coordinated by State Library of Queensland and delivered in partnership with local government”
