They say it takes a village to raise a child... but how do we build the village?

Wendy Irving and Mim Brown join us in this episode to discuss the benefits of the Shine Bright Supported Playgroup model and other family-centered projects run by Communities For Children Bendigo.

Throughout the conversation we’ll explore Wendy and Mim’s important roles within the community, what their projects look like day-to-day, how they support children, families and community, and how they work through the challenges they face.

Welcome to this special episode of Shine On, where we explore Advice From Little Experts.

We know that child’s voice is crucial to high quality early childhood education, so in this episode, we took some questions from educators and children, and asked our little experts for their input. You’ll hear a busy classroom in the background, children at work, and the beautiful chaos of learning with children.

The questions our little experts pondered are:

• how do you show you're being a friend to someone?
• what is something you would LOVE to do every day?
• if two children wanted to play with the same toy, what should your educator do?
• what do you need your eductaors to do to help you when you might be having a bit of trouble saying goodbye to your parent or grown up in the morning?

Have a question you'd like us to put to our little experts? Send us an email on shineonpodcast@shinebright.org.au or reach out to us via our social media!
