EDUCATOR TESTIMONIALS
Interesting content and really amazing visuals. The hands on activities were great to get us moving and thinking.
Melanie, Kindergarten, Cairns
Delivery was exceptional. So many topics covered and linked back to theory and how we can embed these in not only bush kindy but our outdoor spaces in our centre.
Paula, Long Day Care, Brisbane
I found it good to extend on my own knowledge and made me critically reflect on how I can improve my own practice to benefit the children, their learning and growth.
Jen, Bush Kindy Coordinator, Brisbane
