  • Explore the importance of secure attachments for infants and toddlers, and how these relationships support confidence, competence and exploration
  • Expand their toolkit of practical strategies to support infant and toddler agency through:
    • sensory play
    • everyday interactions
    • promoting agency and maintaining high expectations.

APST Aligned

This course aligns to Standard 2 (Know the content and how to teach it) of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers. 

The facilitator was very engaging and relayed personal stories to help share information. I related to these and can see how to apply the theories and strategies within my own practice.

Play Based Learning and Intentionality

  • Have you ever been challenged when thinking about how to engage in play with children so as not to encroach or take over their play?

This practical and engaging session explores how educators can thoughtfully extend children’s learning through play, using intentional strategies that support curiosity, thinking and meaningful engagement without taking over the play itself.

Strong, Kind, Committed: Navigating the Circle of Security

Building strong, secure relationships takes time and intentionality. Children experience a wide range of emotions, and educators can sometimes feel unsure about how best to respond. The reflections explored in this session offer clear guidance and practical tools to support educators in meeting children’s needs across the full emotional spectrum.
