Overview
HIPPY helps build parents’ skills and confidence in their role as their child’s first teacher.
HIPPY supports parents to deliver a structured 60-week curriculum of learning activities designed to prepare children for school and develop a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. Families who have children around 3 years old are able to register their interest in HIPPY.
The HIPPY program is fully funded by the Australian Government through the Department of Social Services. Play Matters Australia partners with the Brotherhood of St Laurence to deliver the HIPPY program in Goodna, Queensland.
