January is a great time to lay down the groundwork for a successful year ahead.

Experienced approved provider and CELA early education specialist Guita Badaoui shares her expert insights on leadership practices to help your team begin the year with strong foundations.

Many services are striving to deepen their respect and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and perspectives, yet this respect may not always be visible to families.

Early childhood educators Cherie Longden and Natasha Bell from Styles Street Long Day Care share their journey of making Aboriginal perspectives more visible at their service, guided by Jess Sinnott of Koori Kinnections. They explore how fostering a culture of learning and reflection allowed them to engage children more deeply and meaningfully in the process.

Every day, CELA represents the interests of community and small provider members to local, state and federal decision makers. Our advocacy highlights our members’ issues and creates momentum to deliver solutions that support our five advocacy pillars.
