Hey everyone, it is Susannah and special guest star Charlotte on a niche episode covering: Thrive to Five; Why Early Learning Matters. We are both trained in early childhood education and care in Australia; Charlotte has her accredited certificate, and Susannah has her accredited diploma.
Through advocating and highlighting recognition of the early childhood industry, we discuss through our experiences:
π€ What are your early childhood experiences?
π€ What were your experiences in centre - or home-based early childhood settings?
π€ What is your understanding of early childhood education and care?
π€ Do you think there should be more recognition of early childhood education and care?
π€ What is your training in early childhood education and care?
π€ What would you think to see in the early childhood childhood and care industry?
π€ Do you think more males, transgender, and diverse individuals should work in the early childhood education and care industry?
π€ Do you have any final thoughts about anything from today's early childhood education and care podcast?

This is just a trigger warning β οΈ ; we go into some detail about why autistic children might be bullied, and or have sensory processing or mental health issues at school, so feel free to skip these parts of the episode.
