The early childhood education and care (ECEC) workforce are at the heart of Victoria’s education system. Due to the range and scale of the Best Start, Best Life (BSBL) reforms, including funded Three-Year-Old Kindergarten and the introduction of Pre-Prep, it is important to recognise, develop and support the existing workforce. The conference is held once a year and focuses on advanced theory and practice. It is also a celebration of your first years as an early childhood professional. The conference also offers a great opportunity to hear from leading innovators and practitioners in the profession, network with peers and create professional relationships.
fka Children’s Services and Semann & Slattery is hosting this event on behalf of the Department of Education.
