"Children’s services in the Dandenong area will be boosted by an innovative new project that links early year’s services to better support families. Children and Early Childhood Minister Maxine Morand launched the City of Greater Dandenong Best Start project at the Springvale Children’s Expo. Ms Morand said the Brumby Government has committed $800,000 over four years to the project to ensure Dandenong children are supported from birth. “High quality early childhood services are critical for children to get the best possible start in life,’’ Ms Morand said.
“The Brumby Government wants to ensure Victorian families are supported and have access to essential services no matter where they live. Best Start is about achieving measurable improvements in the life chances of young children in both the short and long term by drawing together existing early childhood services.’’
