We were delighted to host Matthew O'Sullivan Deputy Opposition Whip in the Senate, at our Yappara House Early Learning Centre, where he observed our School Ready Program in action. Reflecting on his visit, Matt shared: "Seeing a session in action brought the programme’s impact to life—watching young children engage, learn, and develop early literacy skills was truly inspiring." Our School ReadY Program is designed to build the foundational skills young children need to thrive as they transition into primary education. We are grateful for Matt’s support and his recognition of the importance of early learning in shaping future success. 🌱 #EarlyLearning #SchoolReadY #EducationMatters #TheYWA
