Building resilience in Tasmanian families
The B4 Early Years Coalition (B4) is an initiative of the Tasmanian Government and was launched in August 2016 with the name B4 representing the early years of a child’s life from pregnancy to age five. As a collective impact initiative, B4 connects, supports, engages with, and encourages, individuals and organisations to work together to ensure all children in Tasmania in the early years, reach their potential. From the very moment a life begins, a child’s experiences and environments will shape their lifelong learning, health and development.
Why the early years?
To get the best start in life, children need
Early years nutrition
Play based Learning
Storytelling and singing
Loving and secure Relationships
A sense of belonging
