Our Purpose
To provide a sustainable consultative forum of key stakeholders to share research, best practice, current projects, events, advocacy and expertise relevant to the field of early childhood education and care. FNECN is also host of our Far North Queensland, Early Childhood Community Networks.


Our Desired Result
Every Child in Far North Queensland Entering School Healthy and Ready to Engage in Learning

Context
  • Why? Early intervention and community engagement recognises and acknowledges the significance of the early years and how we as a community play a vital role in supporting who our children are and are becoming.
  • What? We aim to establish a culture of collaboration through community networks - with the intent of effectively addressing the health, education, and social/emotional well-being of children from birth to eight years and their families.
  • How? FNECN provides links, through community partnerships, to the broader early childhood community, including ECCNS, to collaborate, empower and strengthen capacity of communities throughout far north Queensland. ​
