Early childhood educators shape children’s lives in their first five years, a crucial time for their learning and development. Educators plan, play, encourage, explain, nurture and inspire. They support children as they grow and develop in all aspects: physical, social, emotional, personal, spiritual, creative and cognitive. To do this, they plan activities and assess each child to support their learning and development.
With a child’s brain building more than a million new connections every second in their first few years, early educators are crucial in guiding a child’s learning journey, to help build a strong foundation for the future.
