Early Life Foundations is a not for profit organisation and research centre for children’s education and parent support.

The organisation grew exponentially through community presentations, parent consultations and workshops, consultancy to schools, particularly in the area of early year’s curriculum through The Walker Learning Approach (Australian Developmental Curriculum) and assessments of children.
