A best practice framework for playgroups-in-schools

该项目旨在确定促进家庭和学校教职员工之间富有成效的关系的程序、做法和/或政策。在校游戏团是提供幼儿综合服务的一个新兴领域。研究表明，幼儿小组参与有利于家长对儿童游戏的理解能力。众所周知，父母在为儿童提供游戏体验方面的高水平知识、技能和信心对儿童的发展和学习有积极的影响。这一项目的预期成果将是一个学校内游戏团的最佳实践框架，它应该通过维多利亚儿童游戏团增加向学校领导人提供关于学校内游戏团的建议的能力，直接为学校的政策和实践提供信息。

This project aims to identify the processes, practices and/or policies informing productive relationships between families and school-staff. Playgroups-in-schools are a burgeoning field of integrated early childhood service provision. Research shows that playgroup participation benefits parental capabilities about children’s play. High levels of parental knowledge, skills and confidence in providing children with play-experience are known to have a positive development and learning impact for children. An expected outcome from this project will be a best practice framework for playgroups-in-schools, which should directly inform policy and practice in schools via Playgroup Victoria's increased capacity to advise school-leaders on playgroups-in-schools.
