In this episode, we’re talking about the individual child and how we approach developmental milestones through a personalised lens. We’ll explore how every child grows in their own time and how educators can support and celebrate progress by tuning into each child’s strengths, interests, and unique journey—rather than rushing to meet a checklist.

In this episode, we’re exploring the importance of family engagement in early childhood education and educators' vital role in building strong, respectful partnerships with families. From daily communication to collaborative goal setting, we’ll talk about how educators can create meaningful connections that support each child’s learning and well-being.
