Partner with us
We partner with like-minded organisations to deliver projects that have a meaningful impact on the early childhood and outside school hours care sector, children and families. We also offer advertising opportunities for sponsors.
Partner with us to deliver large-scale projects and consultancies
We have extensive experience delivering large-scale projects. Since 2016, we have led the consortium delivering the state-wide government-funded Victorian Inclusion Agency, which offers inclusion support to all eligible Victorian education and care services (that’s close to 3,700 services!) In 2024, together with CELA we set up the Workplace Relations Service, which has supported hundreds of education and care services across Australia to access a government-funded pay rise. We also frequently work alongside local governments to deliver consultancy projects. We conduct feasibility studies, operational viability and finance audits, workforce planning, kindergarten and pre-prep infrastructure and services plans, and early years plans.
We have put so many new things in place from mentorship, support, reflection. It has changed the way we see and do things.
