Early Childhood Conference: Our Children the Future 4, Challenging Realities, Rights, Relationships, Research

The theme of the conference, "Challenging Realities: rights, relationships, research", challenges early years professionals to consider their role and the contribution they make to the lives of young children and their families in today's complex world. Early childhood professionals involved in the care and education of children birth to eight years and those involved in school aged care throughout Australia and overseas will be brought together to strengthen connections across the sector. The conference will include a Parent Forum, and a pre-conference symposium "Birth to Age Three" will be held on 16 June for educators of babies and toddlers in childcare settings.
