In this edition of Bedrock, we consider proposals to address the child safety crisis in the sector. Solutions must include a properly paid workforce with good conditions. The IEU is at the forefront of pushing for carefully considered measures that put children before profit.
New research finds a strong link between better workforce conditions and high-quality early childhood education – especially in communities where children stand to benefit most. Discover how animals of all shapes and sizes can help to teach children empathy, responsibility and a deeper appreciation of the natural world.
This edition is packed with other great reads including the importance of quality learning experiences for infants and toddlers, how to narrow the “achievement gap” for preschool children, and what new research into screen time reveals.
Please share this edition with your colleagues and invite them to join the IEU. We are always stronger together.
