Early Years Network:
The Early Years Network is an inter-agency group that helps to assist children and families.
Past projects have included the Esperance “Kids Stuff” booklet, which contains vital local information and services for children and their families within Esperance and the surrounding district.
Hard copies are currently available from Esperance Community Health, or at Escare situated at Balmoral Square (53 The Esplanade).
The Early Years Network received funding for the above project from the Department for Communities as well as to promote breastfeeding in the Esperance community so mothers feel at ease breastfeeding in public spaces. This was successful in helping work places to establish places where women and babies can comfortably feed.
"Breastfeeding protects babies from illness and infection, provides the perfect food, aids development of eyesight and speech, and promotes a special loving bond between mother and baby. Artificially fed babies have increased risk of illness and allergies, costs approx $1500 for 1 year and is less environmentally friendly."
