Family Engagement

Carringbush aims to deliver programs that simultaneously develop the parents or caregivers and their children’s skills and knowledge in an environment that is welcoming and inclusive of the whole family.

Current programs:

Bi-Cultural Playgroup – This program is delivered in partnership with City of Yarra’s Family, Youth and Children’s Services, collaborating with bi-lingual staff members to deliver a family literacy focused program that incorporates English language and literacy development elements. This program is currently tailored to Vietnamese speaking parents and caregivers but has scope to expand to serve other language and cultural groups in the future.

Collingwood Mothers Coffee Catch-up  – This group originally started as a Sing Say Share Play group that met weekly to build family literacy skills and has moved into a monthly catch up where mothers can connect, access supports and referrals to services they need.

Upcoming Projects 2024:

  • Vietnamese bi-lingual book making project with our Bi-cultural playgroup, funded by Readings Foundation.

    Carringbush is keen to support your community of parents and children in Yarra through various workshops and family learning programs.
