Family Resource Links

“We’ve gathered a range of resources to support your child’s learning and wellbeing at home. From parenting tips to local community services, we hope you find these links useful.”

At Acacia Avenue Preschool, we believe that supporting families goes beyond the classroom. That’s why we’ve gathered a collection of helpful community resource links to connect you with local services, programs, and information relevant to early childhood and family life.

These links include trusted sources for:

• Child health and development
• Parenting support and advice
• Local council and kindergarten services
• Specialist services (e.g. speech, occupational therapy)
• Family-friendly activities and events in the Mentone area
• Transition-to-school information

Accessing the right support at the right time can make a big difference in your child’s early years. Whether you’re looking for practical guidance, community programs, or just want to stay informed, these resources are here to help you feel supported and confident as a parent.

We encourage families to explore and reach out—strong communities are built on connection, and we’re proud to be part of yours.
