Early Learning Model

The Brimbank Children's Circus Project structures a rich environment where children aged 3-5yrs are immersed in physical play, oral language, visual stimulation and interaction with a key adult in their lives. The combination of circus activities, a strong literacy and numeracy concept and a community learning approach, enables children and their families to experience literacy through a positive and universal approach and responds to the National Strategy for Literacy and Learning in a new and exciting way.

Alongside each 10-week workshop Westside runs one Professional Development workshop for teachers and project workers and one Community Circus Day for the wider community.

This project sits within an initiative called Communities for Children in the 3020, Brimbank postcode delivered by Westside Circus as part of the Federally-funded Strategy-‘Stronger Families, Stronger Communities' facilitated by Isis Family Care and The Smith Family.
