Council's Preschool Field Officers support children with additional needs to access and participate in kindergartens.

A "preschool" is the same as a kindergarten.

The Preschool Field Officer:

observes and assesses children with developmental concerns
refers children for more specialised assessment
consults with preschool staff on planning, implementing and reviewing developmentally appropriate programs, and
links to community and specialist supports for children with additional needs and their families.

Council's Inclusion Support Facilitators (ISFs) work with childcare program staff to ensure all children are welcomed and included, in particular:

children from cultural and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds including refugee and Australian South Sea Islander children
children with ongoing high support needs including children with a disability, and
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.

Council's Inclusion Support Facilitators work with these Commonwealth funded programs:

Locked Bag 10, Moreland, Vic. 3058, 90 Bell Street, Coburg, Vic. 3058 Australia
