Do you work with children in the early years? Would you like to improve your understanding of the multiple causes of complex behaviours and learn strategies to support children and families more effectively?
Join us to learn about Understanding and supporting children with complex behaviours.
Listen to topic experts and participate in conversations, knowledge sharing and networking with other early years educators, centre directors, teachers, health professionals or those who work with children and families.
The Early Years CoP is for anyone working in the early years sector. This includes professionals across Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) settings, preschool/primary education, health, academia and the community services. If you are, the Early Years CoP is for you!
It is supported by Village partners including Capital Region Community Service (CRCS), Community Services Directorate (Best Start and AEDC) and EACH (NDIS partner delivering the Early Childhood Approach).
Join us for an engaging community of practice event where we will dive into important topics related to early childhood development:
- Developmental milestones from birth to five years
- Understanding developmental delay and disability
- Strategies to build stronger relationships with families
- Effective communication of concerns with families
- Where to seek support
This event aims to empower attendees with valuable knowledge and practical insights. Stephanie Johnston, a seasoned expert in community capacity building, will lead the conversation and provide expert guidance.
The Early Years Community of Practice supports early years practitioners across the ECEC, education and health sectors to regularly come together to hear from relevant topic experts and share their understanding and knowledge of the current issues in areas of relating to the early years. It aims to blend individual and collective learning through the development of a shared practice. Resulting in improved understanding, practice and connection, leading to better outcomes in the ACT for children and families in the early years.
