Initiatives

The core initiatives of the Front Project aim to reduce disadvantage and bring about positive change for children at every level of the early childhood education system.

Directly informed by our evidence base and systems change approach, these initiatives collectively engage in moving the system towards universal participation in early childhood education and removing the barriers that hold disadvantage in place.

Building Collective Leadership

Our Apiary Fellowship brings together individuals who are committed to enhancing leadership and collaboration in the early childhood education sector, for the benefit of children, families and the sector as a whole.

Engaging Business Leaders

We engage with influential business figures to demonstrate the wide social benefits of early learning, and empower them to advocate amongst their own networks for universal access.

Developing the Evidence Base

We develop evidence-based research papers and reports both to inform our initiatives and provide supporters with advocacy tools to create change.

Connect

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which our offices stand, the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation, and the Traditional Owners of the land where we conduct our work across Australia. We recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture and pay respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.
