Mission Statement:
At Education Linked to Families (ELF), our mission is to empower families, communities, and educators with knowledge and tools that support children’s development in the crucial early years. We foster meaningful connections between home and educational settings, bridging gaps through inclusive, evidence-based practices that set every child on a path to lifelong success.
“I respectfully acknowledge the past and present traditional custodians of the lands and waters on which we all live, throughout Western Australia. I acknowledge and thank the Noongar people as the traditional custodians of the land on which I live and learn, and recognise their continuing connection to this beautiful place. It is a privilege to stand on Wiilman Boodja.”
I look forward to hearing from you and building a relationship to support children's early development together.
