First 5 Forever Bundaberg Easter in the Gardens 2025 Sponsor

First 5 Forever Returns as a Sponsor of Easter in the Gardens 2025!
Easter in the Gardens 2025 is shaping up to be another incredible event, and we’re excited to announce that First 5 Forever is once again joining as a sponsor! Their continued support highlights their dedication to early childhood learning and family literacy in the Bundaberg community.
First 5 Forever is a state-wide family literacy initiative that helps parents and caregivers build confidence as their child’s first and most important teacher. Proudly supported by the Queensland Government and the State Library of Queensland, the program is delivered in partnership with Bundaberg Regional Council. Through free sessions, workshops, and resources, First 5 Forever encourages learning through talking, reading, singing, and playing—key building blocks for a child’s early development.
Look out for 'Blake Bilby', First 5 Forever’s sponsored egg, as you explore the Easter displays this April, and don’t miss the opportunity to learn more about how you can make the most of everyday moments with your little ones.
To find out more about First 5 Forever, visit your local library or head to First 5 Forever for resources and program details.
