The Douglas Early Childhood Network focuses on children aged 0-5 living across the Douglas Shire, including Julatten. We recognise the importance for local children to have access to and engage in holistic services that provide enriched opportunities to support social, emotional, cognitive and physical development across the early years. Our goal is to ensure the children of our region are happy and healthy and we want to hear from the community about how our little ones can shine. Please complete the survey below share your ideas, your concerns and needs; we want to hear your voice and your big ideas for change.

Why 705 voices? This is how many children there are aged 0-5 in the region, so we are committed to collecting 705 voices. One for each of our children. (1) Source: 2021 ABS Census
