💛 National Child Protection Week - 6th–12th September
As part of National Child Protection Week, we will be continuing important conversations with the children about body safety, personal space, kindness, boundaries and respectful relationships.

Through everyday conversations, stories, role modelling and group experiences, we will support children to understand that their body belongs to them, that it is okay to say “No” or “Stop”, and that they can always talk to a trusted adult if they feel unsafe or uncomfortable.

Creating a child-safe environment is an ongoing commitment. Together, we want every child to feel safe, heard, respected and confident to speak up.

We encourage families to continue these important conversations at home and help us strengthen a shared culture of child safety and wellbeing. 💛

Today, on Early Childhood Educators’ Day, we’re celebrating the incredible educators who make such a difference every day.

At Mother Duck, our Support Office team and our owner-operator Franchisees were once Mother Duck educators too — and that shared experience continues to shape how we support our teams today.

To every Mother Duck educator: thank you for the care, commitment and heart you bring to children, families and one another.

**Every Day. Every Child. Every Educator. Every Time.**

Every generation shapes the future.

Few professions influence that future as early, or as profoundly, as early childhood education.

The first five years of life are a period of extraordinary growth.

In celebration of Early Childhood Educators' Day tomorrow, 2 Sept, Karen Prestedge shares why Early Childhood Educators matter more than ever.

Children’s planning through inquiry continues to evolve over time as they revisit their ideas, reflect on their growing design and respond to one another’s contributions. Through many voices and perspectives, the mannequin is continually transformed as children add, adapt and build upon the work of those who came before them.🧵🪡

〰️The Kindy Studio have continued to explore identity and self-expression through transient art, selecting and arranging open-ended materials to create. Through making choices and manipulating materials, the children explore ways to represent themselves and communicate their ideas creatively.〰️

Our Senior Studio children use photographs as a provocation, closely observing the colours, shapes and textures of different fruits before expressing their ideas through watercolour painting. As they painted, children explored colour mixing, brush techniques and creative expression, sharing their unique interpretations and observations of the world around them. 🍓🍊🫐🎨

Long after children leave early childhood education, many people remember one thing more than anything else.

How someone made them feel.

Feeling safe.

Feeling noticed.

Feeling capable.

Feeling that someone genuinely believed in them.

These moments often begin with relationships.

Every day, early childhood educators build hundreds of small moments of connection.

Katy Bloodworth shares how strong relationships provide the foundation from which children explore, take risks, develop confidence, and build resilience.
