Early Childhood Education

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Our funded¹ research project aimed to support the learning and development of Ezidi children and families and their transition to school in a regional city in Australia. The research investigated Ezidi parents’ involvement in a Home Interaction Program for Parents and Youngsters (HIPPY). This is an international program that is administered in Australia by the Brotherhood of St. Laurence and is funded by the federal government. HIPPY local professional providers support families through home visits, facilitating a program to promote children’s literacy, cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development (HIPPY Australia, 2023). The activities offered in the package include children’s storybooks.
