Hans that was the best PD I have ever attended, well done!! My staff all left so excited... If we were to do all our training through you guys, can we request you each time? Thanks so much for coming out : )

Rachel Halligan, Manager of Saranna Early Childhood Education & Care Centre

First of all WOW! Casey presented the workshop perfect. She was real about what happens in OSHC, she was experienced, full of knowledge and super organised. She left us all so inspired that I even had educators sending me Pinterest ideas late last night. The workshop was just what we needed to remind us of how important our job is and to critically reflect on our current practises. We can’t wait for our future trainings with Child Australia.

Bianca Stante, Director of Stratton Out of School Care

Thank you Nadia, It would not be an exaggeration to say that all staff, including myself were blessed and more than happy with the feedback and the words of wisdom from you and your esteemed organisation.

Peter Deng, Director of Alpha Family Day Care Services

Having access to a professional quality consultant like Zoe is truly a god send, especially in the lead up to rating & assessment. Working in a community based service can get lonely, so having Zoe on hand has helped myself and my Educators a lot.

Jo Vlassco, Malak Family Centre

I want to say a special thank you to all the staff at the Lockridge Campus. You have all been more like family to my girls and I. Everyday at dinner we sit and we talk about how wonderful the teachers were, what they taught them and the fun activities they get up to. My girls wouldn't be this happy anywhere else.

Sudar, Mother of children attending Lockridge Campus ELC

Zoe works closely with educators and services to identify their strengths and through shared dialogue identifies areas for quality improvement. She uses her extensive experiences and knowledge to support services embrace their challenges, promotes the services autonomy through collaborative practices rather than solve problems on their behalf.

Fiona Warburton, Wulagi Preschool, N.T

Fantastic, thought provoking and engaged for the whole session. Perhaps some conversation on the older children ( a few activities were target about below 6 years which we don't cater for) but the 2nd workshop was targeted more so at our ages.

Katina Briody, Leisurelife Just 4 Kids

The services provided by Zoe are varied and site specific, tailored to their identified needs. She takes the stress and uncertainty out of the process and provides an alternate view of a service that identifies areas of strength and growth.

We moved our son to Farrar ELC in early 2017. From the onset of our first enquiry to the Centre; right through to ours Son's transistion, the Director and Staff have had an invested interest, facilitated any requests and opened the lines of communication to build a strong mutual partnership in our Childs development.

Cindy, Mother of a child attending Farrar ELC

Zoe supports educators to see the many small but vital choices made daily that improves outcomes for children. She adopts a role of active discussant, supporting educator’s critical interpretations of their practice that identifies their own narrative, and interpretive abilities in relations to their ongoing quality improvement.

I really enjoy all forms of PD... I can't thank Child Australia enough for providing such wonderful workshops to participate in so that I am always learning and scaffolding on the knowledge and understanding that I already have.
