Good news for low-paid early childhood educators
|
When it comes to learning and development, the first five years of a child’s life are crucial. Ninety per cent of a child's brain develops at this time, and although parents play a key role in supporting this growth, early childhood education teachers also work hard to engage, extend and excite young minds.
Educators encourage a love of learning through playful experiences, they support children in meaningful ways, and they help to unlock youngsters’ potential now and in the future.
We all rely on the talents of teachers, so it’s good to see that low-paid educators are getting a raise.

5 ways to help your child cope with stress
|
COVID-19 threw a curve ball into our usual way of life, and children are not immune to the worry, stress and unsettledness caused by this pandemic and other destabilising events.
Youngsters are keenly aware of changes to family routines and social interactions. They pick up on pressures being felt by parents. And they absorb adult news and information.
With all this in mind, it's natural for children to feel stressed about this year's events and their place in the world.
