Purpose of the event
The purpose of Early Childhood Educators' Day is multi-fold:
Recognition and appreciation
This national community event acknowledges the vital role that early childhood educators play in the lives of young children and their families. It also shines a light on the long-term benefits of early learning, which are now well recognised in Australia as well as globally. At the local level it provides a wonderful opportunity for the community, parents, and employers to express gratitude and appreciation for the hard work and significant impact that educators have on children’s lives.
Staff wellbeing
By focusing on recognition and community support, Early Childhood Educators’ Day can contribute to job satisfaction and a positive team culture. It can also play a part in each early learning service’s staff wellbeing plan.
Some Early Childhood Educators’ Day local celebrations may even include wellness-focused activities such as mindfulness sessions, relaxation exercises, or self-care workshops. These initiatives promote self-care practices, stress reduction, and overall wellbeing among educators.
Advocacy and raising awareness
Early Childhood Educators’ Day serves as a platform to raise awareness about the importance of high-quality Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC). It highlights the valuable contributions of early childhood educators in laying the foundation for children’s future learning, development, and well-being. It also emphasizes the need for adequate resources, support, and recognition for early childhood education programs and educators.
Overall, Early Childhood Educators’ Day seeks to honor and uplift the profession of early childhood education, creating a positive impact on both educators and the wider community.
“The benefits of high-quality Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) are now well recognised and acknowledged locally and globally across the education sector. Children who enjoy quality early learning are likely to be well-socialised, confident, inquisitive about the world, accepting of diversity, resilient to manage challenges and also to be life-long learners. Australia’s early childhood educators deserve to be acknowledged, thanked and appreciated for all they do.”
