One quarter of Australian kids are ‘developmentally vulnerable’ when they start school. Quality childcare can catch them up

"We know the first five years are a crucial time in a child’s life. Early experiences, such as family relationships or exposure to trauma, shape brain architecture, which lays the foundation for children’s learning, behaviour and health."

"Worryingly, a significant proportion of young Australians are not getting the positive early experiences they need. As of 2024, almost 25% of Australian children were identified as “developmentally vulnerable” by the time they start school. This means many children lack the self-regulation, thinking, language, resilience, and social skills needed for learning and getting along with their peers."

"Our research provides evidence that intervening early – well before children start school – has the potential to make a significant difference to children’s life trajectories." >

The change would create the only federal subsidy to pay #parents to stay home & raise their children, one of the most significant efforts to date by the #Trump admin to harness federal funds to promote a #traditional view of #families.

To do so, officials are seeking to use a #HHS fund that was created in the 1990s to help #LowIncome & #WorkingClass parents afford #childcare so they could work or go to school.

The proposed benefit, a top policy priority for #JDVance, would apply only to #married couples & tap a fund intended to provide federal #childcare subsidies to #WorkingParents.

A gentle, loving story about patience, independence, and the special bond between a mother and her child.


Recommended for ages 3-8 years.

Ain't that the truth, though?
I don't want to wish homelessness, hunger, poverty, or sickness onto anyone, but it might be more expedient that way.

Delay in Treatment Led to a Newborn's Death in Jharkhand. Reason? An Ayushman Bharat Card

The number of #employers offering paid #MaternityLeave beyond what is required by law dropped from 53% in 2020 to 35% this year. By reneging #FlexibleWork and #childcare, they are making it plain: Retaining and advancing #women is not a priority for them. https://www.fastcompany.com/90840738/workplaces-are-returning-to-the-pre-pandemic-status-quo?partner=rss&utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=rss+fastcompany&utm_content=rss
