VidDay is your all-in-one celebration video maker for tributes and group videos. It’s the best way to make a thank-you video — and so much more.

Whether it’s teacher appreciation, birthdays, graduations, farewells, or any milestone, VidDay makes it easy to create a group video that feels like a big, heartfelt hug.

This year, VidDay has partnered with the Australian Childcare Alliance to give early childhood educators across Australia the opportunity to share what they love about being an early childhood educator.

Educators are invited to record and submit a short video sharing what makes their role special, what they love most about their work, or what being an early childhood educator means to them.

We will feature a selection of these videos across our Early Childhood Educators’ Day Facebook and Instagram channels during the week of the event, to shine a light on the voices and experiences of Australia’s early childhood educators.
