Eight more Early Years Service Hubs for communities in need
In addition to the five Early Years Service Hubs already established in Tokoroa, Mangere, Murupara, Whangarei and South Dunedin, plans are afoot to increase the total to 13.
The additional eight Early Years Service Hubs are currently being established in Pahiatua, Dargaville, Levin, Mount Roskill, Papakura, Shirley, Taita and Tauranga.
The goal of Early Years Service Hubs is to work with services to ensure that vulnerable families with children pre-birth to six years old have better access to the support and help they need through improved co-ordination and integration of services. This includes services like antenatal care and parenting support and education.
