How Learning Early Can Help Us Stay Healthy – And How GenV Is Helping

Did you know that going to a quality kinder or childcare can help kids stay healthy later in life? 

A new article in the Medical Journal of Australia’s Future Healthy Countdown 2030 series explains how early learning helps kids grow up smarter, happier, and healthier – and how GenV is helping researchers understand why. 

The article talks about GenV and how it is helping researchers learn what works best for kids. GenV is following thousands of children and families to find out how early learning and care can make a difference in all areas of health and development.

“Early childhood education and care is far more than early literacy. It’s one of our most powerful levers for lifelong health and equity – but only when quality is high. With families from all corners of Victoria, GenV can help Australia understand which elements of early learning matter most as free kindergarten hours expand, helping more children get a strong start.”

 – Professor Melissa Wake, GenV Scientific Director

The article was written by experts, including GenV’s Scientific Director, Professor Melissa Wake.
