ABOUT THE CONFERENCE |
Early childhood education plays an integral role in linking parents, early childhood education services and community and providers to ensure that all children have access to quality learning opportunities.
It is important that we all work together to provide learners in the early years with a sense of belonging, a seamless transition to school, and initiate a lifelong relationship with learning.
This Conference will focus on the various factors that contribute to the development of the whole learner, from the early years and onwards with a focus on inclusion.
As an educational leader, are you and your centre maximising your critical role in building effective channels between families, schools and communities?

The conference will provide attendees the opportunity to reflect, engage and network with colleagues and mentors on issues such as:
- developing professional teaching and administrative staff in the early childhood sector with a focus on inclusion
- understanding and discussing new research in early childhood & inclusive learning and teaching
