The "Parenting Today in Victoria" study highlighted the pivotal role early years educators play in parents' lives. Yet, many educators find it challenging to bridge the gap. A staggering 98% of educators in a 2016 Parenting Research Centre survey expressed the need for training in partnering with families, especially in conducting meaningful conversations with parents.
