C&K Dixon Street Early Years Centre is supported by the Parkville Institute to replicate the Early Years Education Program (EYEP), an intensive, high quality early childhood education and care (ECEC) program that achieved remarkable learning and developmental outcomes for children in its trial phase.
The EYEP was initiated by Kids First, previously the Children’s Protection Society (CPS), an independent not-for- profit child and family services organisation based in the north-east of Melbourne which was founded in 1896. The program was designed and implemented by CPS in collaboration with Associate Professor Brigid Jordan and Dr Anne Kennedy.
