EARLY CHILDHOOD STRATEGY
2014 - 2016
MAYORAL FOREWORD
The City of Wanneroo is committed to providing support to families
and communities to ensure young children are given the best possible
chance to learn, develop and achieve good mental and physical health.
To achieve this vision, we have developed an Early Childhood Strategy that provides the framework to
improve the health and wellbeing of the youngest members of our community.
The City has almost 27,000 children aged 0-8years or 15% of our population. This is predicted to grow
to over 40,000 children or 15.5% of the population by 2025. As the fastest growing Local Government
in Western Australia, we are faced with many challenges, including a high demand for services and
infrastructure and areas where children are not achieving as well as some of their peers.
This strategy recognizes that it really does ‘take a village to raise a child’ and that well supported
communities result in well supported families and well supported children. By working together we can
achieve positive outcomes for the young children who live in our City.
Mayor Tracey Roberts JP
“The City of Wanneroo understands that we must
make support for young children a priority.”
2 EARLY CHILDHOOD STRATEGY 2014 - 2016 | CITY OF WANNEROO
INTRODUCTION
“The future of any society depends on its ability to foster the education, health
and well-being of the next generation. Today’s children will become tomorrow’s
citizens, workers, and parents. When we invest wisely in children and families,
the next generation will pay that back through a lifetime of productivity and
responsible citizenship. When we fail to provide children with what they need
to build a strong foundation for healthy and productive lives, we put our future
prosperity and security at risk.”1
Early childhood is defined as the period from birth to eight years old.2 A time of remarkable brain growth, these
years lay the foundation for subsequent learning and development. The interaction between genetics and
experiences shapes the architecture of the brain, particularly in the first three years of a child’s life. In order to
foster a skilled workforce and healthy adulthood to meet the economic and social challenges of the future,
the City of Wanneroo understands that it must foster the health and wellbeing of the next generation of our
community.
The City of Wanneroo’s Early Childhood Strategy is a three year plan that provides a common agenda for the
healthy development of children in their first eight years of life. The City plays a key role in providing advocacy,
advice and facilitation for early childhood services that are universally accessible and provide a targeted approach
to engage disadvantaged and hard-to-reach families.
We recognise that healthy communities support families in nurturing happy and healthy children and successful
adults to provide tomorrow’s skilled workers and active community contributors. What makes strategy and policy
different, isn’t in the provision of new services or facilities, rather this is about how we build on and strengthen
what we do and reflect on how we do it. Rather than being based on needs and services, this strategy aims to

build on the assets of individuals, groups and agencies to foster community based strategies that deliver change.
This strategy and associated policy provide guidance and direction for the City of Wanneroo, over the next three
years, in setting priorities for supporting individuals, groups and agencies to extend their connections with each
other to develop, learn and grow.
Providing a strong foundation for our youngest citizens is a shared responsibility. The City of Wanneroo Early
Childhood Strategy has been developed recognising that collaboration with early childhood stakeholders
at the community, local, state and federal levels is critical in supporting and guiding its implementation so
that it becomes a living and active plan for the City of Wanneroo. This strategy can be used by all interested
stakeholders who understand that working collaboratively toward common outcomes will lead to greater
success than working alone.
Through putting forward a vision, outcomes and defined strategies to achieve those outcomes, the City and its
partners can be confident that we are maximising the value of the early learning and development experiences
we provide to children as well as supporting parents, carers and the wider community in an improved
understanding of the importance of early development on a child’s future prospects.
Our Vision
In the City of Wanneroo, we will work collaboratively with our partners so that all children are healthy and
socially, emotionally and cognitively prepared for success in school and life. Based on strong families and strong
communities, we will partner to increase access to and use of culturally and developmentally appropriate services
and facilities to ensure that every child is provided with best practice development and learning opportunities
during their formative years.
The Challenge
The 2011 census shows some of the challenges the City of Wanneroo faces today and in the future. The City
continues to grow faster than any other in Western Australia. This constantly evolving demographic creates
unique challenges for those working and living within the City.
Western Australia is the only Australian state where the population of birth to four year olds is increasing. The
City of Wanneroo is at the epicentre of this growth with an expected increase of 135% in the birth to four age
range over the next 20 years.
Children aged under five represent 8.6% of the City’s population; the national average is 6%. This is forecast to
grow to 8.9% by 2015, which means that almost 17,000 individuals living in the Wanneroo area will be aged
four and under. Children aged from birth to four account for the largest number and percentage of any four
year age group in the City of Wanneroo and this trend is expected to continue over the next 20 years. In 2014,
there will be over 15,000 children in this age range and this is projected to grow to almost 21,000 by 2021 and
to over 31,000 by 2036.
Throughout the early years, socioeconomic disadvantage is associated with poorer outcomes in health, language
and literacy, communication and socio-emotional functioning. The City of Wanneroo’s Socio-Economic Index
for Areas (SEIFA) Index of Relative Disadvantage is 1025.5 indicating overall economic security; however, there
are areas where families experience significant socioeconomic disadvantage. Research has demonstrated that
quality early childhood programs, particularly for those form socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds,
substantially contribute to providing a stronger start to school readiness. The City of Wanneroo supports
universal access to early childhood services while recognising that a targeted approach to linking families who
are socioeconomically disadvantaged is necessary and achieves a high return on investment.
Over the past three decades, there have been significant changes in family life. At 5.1%, the
City of Wanneroo has a higher percentage of one parent families with dependent children
(aged under 15 years) that greater Perth (3.9%) and Western Australia as a whole (4%).
The City also has a high percentage of people who are unpaid child carers at just over 34%
compared to 28.2% in greater Perth and 66% of mothers are in the workforce. This has
resulted in an increased demand for child care and school-age programs for young children.
The City has many Fly-in fly-out workers with correspondingly unique challenges for families,
particularly those with young children. Many families with young children are moving into newly
developed suburbs with little infrastructure and poor public transport and the City is seeing a high
demand for early childhood activities and services in these areas.
4 EARLY CHILDHOOD STRATEGY 2014 - 2016 | CITY OF WANNEROO
There is a rich and growing cultural diversity in the City with almost 40% of its residents being born overseas.
In the 2011 Census, 15% of residents were identified as coming from countries where English is not the first
language with 17.7% speaking a language other than English at home. Results from the Australian Early
Development Census (AEDC) in 2012 found that 14.6% of five year old children in the City of Wanneroo
had English as their second language and 12.9% of these children were not proficient in English. Children
who are not proficient in English are more likely to be developmentally vulnerable on all AEDC domains with
correspondingly poorer outcomes as they progress through school.
The Australian Early Development Census (AEDC)
The AEDC provides a snapshot of early childhood development across Australia. It is a population measure
of children’s development across five domains (physical health and wellbeing, social competence, emotional
maturity, language and cognitive skills, communication skills and general knowledge) as they enter school at five
years of age.
The most recent AEDC National Report 2012 outlines the developmental difficulties that some children are
facing in the City of Wanneroo with 23.7% being identified as developmentally vulnerable in one or more
domains and 11.3% are vulnerable on two or more domains. These children demonstrate a much lower than
average ability in the developmental competencies measured in that domain.
It is of serious concern that almost one in four children in the City of Wanneroo begins school disadvantaged.
Even more disturbing is the long-term impact. Children who are behind when they start school are unlikely to
ever match their peers academically and are considered to be seriously vulnerable to a lifetime of unemployment
or low paid work. In many cases, their futures have been decided for them even before they begin school.
Our Strategy
The City of Wanneroo recognises that we need to collaborate and develop more effective and sustainable
responses to early childhood issues. This needs to be done in consultation with communities to enable better
outcomes for young children and their families.
This strategy focuses on community driven plans and those that leverage on existing City initiatives and resources.
We will seek to identify opportunities for working together in more strategic, integrated and collaborative ways
toward commonly agreed outcomes as articulated in the City’s Early Childhood Policy.
The strategies identified in this plan take a collaborative and community based approach acknowledging that
this leads to sustainable initiatives that build capacity in families and the wider community to support the early
learning and development needs of young children.
This strategy supports the City’s Strategic Community Plan 2013/14 – 2023/24, in particular, objectives 2.1 Great
Places and quality lifestyle, 2.2 Healthy and active people and 2.3 Safe communities, 3.4 Smart Communities,
4.1 Listening and leading, 4.2 Working with others and 4.3 A strong and progressive organisation.
The Strategy is in four parts:
1. Overview of early childhood research and best practice
2.Principles and priorities that guide our strategy
3.Our actions and outcomes
4.Service delivery initiatives
Using this as a guide, over the next three years, the City of Wanneroo will work collaboratively to extend social
networks and opportunities for civic participation and provide leadership to strengthen organisational networks.
The approach of this strategy is not to create new initiatives but to lead and support existing efforts that
contribute to the well-being of our community’s young children.

1.EARLY CHILDHOOD RESEARCH
AND BEST PRACTICE
A vital and productive society with a prosperous and sustainable future is built on the foundation of healthy
child development. Research highlights the value of investment in quality development and learning for young
children in preventing poor outcomes such as poverty, low literacy achievement, incarceration, poor physical and
mental health, low educational attainment, unemployment and welfare dependence. Over 75% of our brain
development occurs in the first three years of life. Although we maintain the ability to learn throughout our life,
it is more difficult to acquire learning in many areas as we grow older.
Health in the earliest years lays the groundwork for a lifetime of vitality. When developing biological systems are
strengthened by positive early experiences, children are more likely to thrive and grow up to be healthy adults.
Sound health also provides a foundation for the construction of sturdy brain architecture and the achievement of
a broad range of skills and learning capacities. Conversely, poor health in childhood can lead to higher rates of
chronic diseases in adults, such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and various forms of cancer, as
well as depression, anxiety disorders, addictions, and other mental health impairments. The skills and habits that
children form in their first years of life lay the foundation for their lifestyle choices well into adulthood. Therefore,
healthy eating and active play in childhood can guide a lifetime of good eating and physical activity habits.3
Economic research demonstrates that early childhood opportunities are more beneficial and cost effective than
those attempting to compensate later in life. Studies show that programs that provide assistance to the child as
well as to parents give an average return on investment of between AUD$4.00 and AUD$12.90 for every dollar
spent4.
Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences, James Heckman asserts that “Learning starts in infancy, long before
formal education begins… when human ability and motivation are shaped by families and non-institutional
environments. Early learning begets later learning and early success breeds later success…[which] lays the
foundation for success or failure in school, which in turn leads to success or failure in post-school learning”.5
Young children need nurturing relationships, good nutrition and quality every day environments, experiences and
interactions. Parents and carers are the essential component of environmental influence during early childhood.
A strong foundation sets a child up for good health, strong language, literacy and cognitive development as well
as optimal progress in their emotional, social, regulatory and moral capacities.
This evidence provides a compelling case for investing in our young children so that we can improve school
readiness and long-term outcomes for all children in the City of Wanneroo.

2.PRINCIPLES AND PRIORITIES
THAT GUIDE OUR STRATEGY
The City of Wanneroo is committed to working collaboratively to provide opportunities to optimise the
development of our young children and assist their families in this vital role. Our early years’ efforts are built on
the following principles and objectives.
Principles
The City of Wanneroo supports early childhood initiatives that:
• Approach early childhood facilities and services as a collaborative effort.
• Acknowledge that high-quality opportunities are essential to all children so should be inclusive and accessible.
• Promote healthy eating, physical activity and good mental health.
• Provide opportunities for parents and carers to build on their individual skills and knowledge to provide highquality experiences for their children.
• Deliver evidence based interventions with well-defined objectives and well-designed evaluations.
• Leverage from existing resources.
Priorities
The strategies are built on the following four priorities:
1. The City of Wanneroo will demonstrate leadership and advocacy to increase understanding of and support
for quality early childhood learning and development opportunities throughout its boundaries.
2. The City will work to strengthen the participation and coordination of partners to provide, and act as
advocates for, quality early learning services in the City, promoting a common agenda that reflects the shared
responsibility we have for our youngest children.
3. Families have access to high-quality early learning programs and services that are affordable and culturally
competent for those who require them.
4. The City will maximise existing infrastructure and projects to create high-quality early learning environments.
For each of these priorities, strategies, actions and key performance indicators have been identified to ensure
that children in the City of Wanneroo are provided with the best possible start to their healthy development and
learning.
The City of Wanneroo’s Early Childhood Strategy is designed to make a real difference to the lives of children,
their families and the wider community through identifying how we work together with other organisations to
leverage change. By investing in the early childhood learning and development strategies identified in this plan,
we can work collectively to continuously improve, align and coordinate efforts with our community partners and
stakeholders to better achieve and sustain the health and well-being of our young children.
