The Whittlesea Early Years Partnership (WEYP) is preparing for a series of meetings in 2025, aimed at connecting family services and early childhood professionals to address the evolving needs of children and families in the Whittlesea municipality.

Facilitated by the City of Whittlesea’s Children and Families Department, the WEYP meetings offer a vital opportunity for professionals to engage in meaningful discussions, share best practices, and contribute to building more connected and responsive network. Participants will play a key role in shaping the future of early years services, ensuring that children and families in Whittlesea receive the support they need to thrive.

By fostering collaboration between schools, kindergartens, long day care providers, and other stakeholders, WEYP aims to address the challenges facing the community while providing a platform for members to exchange insights, discuss community needs, and identify opportunities for collaboration.

The partnership will focus on several key priorities in 2025 including strengthening local services and building effective partnerships across the community, alongside addressing emerging challenges such as social isolation, family violence, and the impacts of rapid population growth.

The meetings will be held at the City of Whittlesea Council from 12-2pm on the following dates:

  • Tuesday, 4 March
  • Tuesday, 3 June
  • Tuesday, 9 September
  • Tuesday, 11 November
