Rockdale Children and Families Hub
The Rockdale Children and Families Hub is made up of local services working together with families to give children the best start to school life.
By bringing health, education and family support services together, the Rockdale Children and Families Hub aims to make sure that all children living in Rockdale get the best start to school and are supported by a connected community. Children learn a lot in the early years of life before they start school. Therefore, it is important that parents and children learn together to provide early childhood experiences that help their growth, development and wellbeing.
Please see the flyer that outlines what services are offered and contact details or visit www.rockdalehub.com.au
