‘Education has the power to transform lives […] This begins with making sure that every young child has the opportunity to benefit from structured play-based learning before they start school, because this helps build the social, emotional and cognitive skills they need to succeed in the years to come.’
– Alice Springs (Mparntwe) Declaration, 2019

We make sure that all of the children at our service are thriving and that our educators are a great team. We work with parents to understand the best ways to help their children learn. We collaborate with other organisations to find specialised support for children and families who need it. We are responsible for ensuring our service meets the National Quality Standard for early learning and care services. At a minimum, we have a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care, or we are undertaking this qualification while we work. Our big role supports so many children and families in our community.

Many early learning and care providers offer traineeships, so you can work as an educator while you gain your qualification through an RTO. Traineeships begin throughout the year.
Four members of the Early Learning and Care Council of Australia (ELACCA) operate their own RTOs: bestchance, C&K College of Early Childhood, [email protected] and One Tree Community Services.
Many governments around Australia are offering financial support to help you gain your qualification in early childhood education and care.
