Merchandise

Every year, the Australian Childcare Association (ACA) proudly organises a special catalogue of merchandise to help early learning service providers in celebrating Early Childhood Educators’ Day.

This year’s merchandise features our 2026 theme “The Future Starts With Us!”

Highlighting the fact that early learning is the first step a child takes in their educational journey, this inspiring theme celebrates the essential role educators play in laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning and growth. It also emphasises their contribution to fostering children’s healthy physical and social development, and preparing them for school readiness.

Through their dedication, Australia’s early childhood educators foster a sense of community and inspire young minds to reach their full potential – lighting the way toward a brighter, more promising future for all.

We hope the 2026 theme strikes a meaningful chord with early learning service providers, the families who attend early learning services and most importantly with our valued early childhood educators.

This year’s merchandise will be available in early June, giving early childhood centres and educators plenty of time to prepare for the upcoming celebration. Whether it’s for staff appreciation, classroom activities, or special events, the merchandise helps make Early Childhood Educators’ Day memorable for everyone involved.

Stay tuned for more details and get ready to celebrate the incredible work of early childhood educators!
