Early Learning Matters Week

Organised by Early Childhood Australia (ECA), Early Learning Matters Week runs this year from 18-24 August and is an opportunity to start and continue meaningful conversations about the importance of early learning in the development and wellbeing of children.


We invite you to join us for a week-long celebration of the incredible journey of early learning and its profound impact on children, families and communities.


How will you advocate for children’s right to play?

New Lunchbox Sessions are coming in August

What is a lunchbox session?
A lunchbox session is a forty-five minute, online professional learning opportunity for educators to build their inclusion capacity. Educators will gain new understandings and practical strategies to support them to include all children. Sessions will be held on TEAMs.
