Forbes Children’s Centre for Early Childhood Development and Parenting is a new integrated early years service in which early childhood professionals, other professionals, families and the local community work together to meet the needs of children and families. Forbes Children’s Centre offer programs and services for families in partnership with Inner Southern Community Health; Children, Youth and Women’s Health Service; Disability SA; Health SA; Human Services and many other organisations and agencies identified through discussions with the community and families. Forbes Children’s Centre provides a caring, inclusive and welcoming environment where children can engage in their learning and families can access a range of services to meet their needs or participate in a variety of programs. Forbes Children’s Centre is situated on the site of Forbes Primary School. Harcourt Gardens Preschool relocated to the new premises in October 2010. The community based long day care child care centre was operational from January 2011 and has been rated at Exceeding National Childcare Standards.

⚠️ Important safety reminder – please share.

Today at 1:30pm (local time), Australia will conduct a national emergency alert test.

If you have a hidden mobile phone for safety reasons—whether because of domestic violence, coercive control, stalking, or any other circumstance—please take a moment before 1:30pm today to locate it and turn it off if it is safe for you to do so.

The test alert may sound loudly, even if the phone is on silent or “Do Not Disturb”, depending on the device.

This post isn’t intended to cause alarm—just to make sure nobody is put at risk by forgetting about a phone tucked away for emergencies.

Please consider sharing this post. It could be the reminder that keeps someone safe today. 💙

More information about the national test is available here:

Neural Nugget: Babies who are talked to frequently know about 300 more words by age 2 than babies who hear fewer words, giving them a stronger foundation for language and learning.

One of the best ways to support healthy brain development is through serve-and-return interactions: the back-and-forth of talking, playing, making faces, and responding to your baby's sounds and cues. These everyday moments help build the brain, one interaction at a time.

Curious about what's happening inside your baby's brain? Explore our Baby Brain Map, an interactive guide that makes the science of early brain development easy to understand and put into practice: https://bit.ly/4w3j4jg
