Hay Children's Services is excited to announce the expansion of its Farm Based Education Program to the Hillston region, bringing high-quality early education directly to families living on farm.

This in-demand program is already highly regarded and well supported in the Hay region and provides a unique childcare experience to geographically isolated families.

“Having a qualified Educator bring early education into my home on-farm was one of the most important parts of my son’s early life,” former FBE parent of four years, Gabby Flattery said.

“The Farm Based Educators would arrive with a ute full of resources, activities and individualised excitement.

“They are capable, creative and were a welcome presence in our home each term.

“FBE session would offer welcome relief from the 24/7 care that families on farm acclimatise to, and I would often head into town for a day knowing that her child was in experienced and confident hands at home.

“HCS provides isolated children the experience in your own home with all resources provided.

"It is an opportunity to participate in a day of early education, exploration and fun which they wouldn’t otherwise receive; or would have to travel some distance to participate in.

“I more than encourage families in the Hillston area to take up this opportunity, this program is in high demand for a reason.”

The HCS Farm Based Education program offers: activities and professional, play-based child-led learning opportunities, in line with the HCS Philosophy Statement and Early Years Framework.

•Qualified Educators visiting farms directly to deliver a high quality, age appropriate, Early Education tailored for each family.

•A professional Early program Education Enrolments are now open to eligible families living within a 200km radius of Hillston.
