Early Childhood Educators Day

To celebrate Early Childhood Educators Day this 4th September, we would like to thank all our amazing Early Childhood Educators for the work they do every day. Early Childhood Educators play a vital role in the lives of young children and their families by creating communities where all children can grow, learn and play with friends and peers. They create spaces where children are included and belong. Find out more about Early Childhood Educator’s Day here.

Contact us for support to plan even more inclusive possibilities for your Centre Based Day Care or Family Day Care Program.
