About the Early Words project

The Early Words project was created to help parents in western Sydney prepare their children before school for the world of reading and writing.

Families NSW, an initiative of the NSW government designed to support the State’s families, set goals for the programme, and chose Blacktown-based Children First Inc to implement it.

The Early Words team has included an Occupational Therapist, a primary teacher and a speech pathologist, and has drawn on expertise from pediatricians, early childhood educators, other early literacy projects and a host of other people too numerous to mention.

The project launched officially on 12 April 2006 in Parramatta.
