Familylinks is a community-focused organization based in Mount Druitt, dedicated to supporting children, families, and the local community through evidence-based and supportive programs. Their free programs are designed to enhance the social, emotional, and cognitive skills of children, while providing parents and carers with the necessary tools and networks for success. By offering playgroups, children’s programs, and parenting programs, Familylinks aims to create a thriving community where every family and child can flourish.
Familylinks collaborates with Play Matters to deliver the Sing&Grow Music Therapy program, an evidence-based initiative for families with children aged from birth to five years. Through playgroup sessions led by a Registered Music Therapist, families engage in singing, dancing, and playing instruments to support child development and foster a fun learning environment. With a focus on creating a welcoming atmosphere and diverse activities, Familylinks has successfully helped children socialize, learn new skills, and enjoy the benefits of music therapy.
Established in 1948 as Blacktown Community Kindergarten, Familylinks, under the umbrella of Growing Potential Ltd., has evolved over the years to provide quality services and support to families in the Blacktown LGA. Committed to serving the community for over 70 years, Familylinks continues to expand its services and partnerships to make a positive impact on children, families, and the wider community. With a focus on collaboration and community engagement, Familylinks remains dedicated to helping children and families grow and thrive.
