Navigate Logan's First 2000 Days Model
What is Logan's First 2000 Days Model?
Logan’s First 2000 Days Model identifies 5 evidence-based initiatives, and 5 enablers of systems change that support the critical early years of a child’s life. By intentionally stacking and connecting these initiatives and enablers, we can create an early childhood development system that is accessible to all children – generating and amplifying life-changing impact.
The community co-designed First 2000 Days Model helps bring the outcomes and impacts identified in our Collective Plan to life. Our Roadmap then describes the indicators that show whether we are making progress in line with our shared vision.

Logan Together's vision for Logan’s Community Hubs
Right now, Community Hubs in Logan are under-resourced and stretched beyond what they are funded to deliver.
Our vision is for Community Hubs to be sustained through long-term, flexible funding that matches their impact – enabling them to continue as trusted, community-led spaces that support children and families to thrive.
