Child protection is everybody’s business.
National Child Protection Week is an important reminder of something our team at ACEC is passionate about every day, keeping children safe takes all of us.
As an RTO working closely with the early childhood sector, we take our responsibility seriously. We continue to review our practices, stay informed as requirements change, keep our own team current and make sure child safety remains part of the conversations we have with our students and services.
But being committed to child safety also means making sure we have the right knowledge and training.
With changes across the sector, now is a good time to check that you and your team understand the current child protection training requirements and what is expected under the new standards.
If you’re unsure what training you need, what needs updating, or what the changes mean for you, give the ACEC team a call on 1300 363 954.
We’re always happy to help point you in the right direction.

Celebrating Skye
We love seeing students who are willing to back themselves, ask questions and keep moving forward. 💛
Recently, Skye reached out for some extra support with her studies, and it was so lovely to see her confidence grow throughout our conversation.
She was open, engaged and genuinely interested in getting things right, not just getting an assessment completed. 💬
What stood out most was Skye’s willingness to ask, listen, think things through and keep going. 🌱
Sometimes, reaching out for support can feel like a big step. But knowing when to ask for help is a strength and it’s something we’re always proud to see in our students.
👏 Well done, Skye! We’re so proud of the effort you’re putting into your learning and the educator you’re becoming.

We don’t always need to jump in.
Sometimes responsive teaching means slowing down, watching carefully and giving children the opportunity to try, problem solve and communicate in their own way.
This is just one of the ways educators can demonstrate responsive teaching.
This practical Responsive Teaching resource was created by our professional development training partners, Centre Support , and explores 20 different ways educators can respond, scaffold and extend children’s learning.

It’s the kind of practical professional learning we love ideas that educators can actually take back into their rooms and use.

🐦‍⬛It started with a conversation…

Sometimes the best learning experiences start with simply asking questions and listening. 💬
For her assessment, ACEC Diploma student Natalie worked with the children and educators to explore what they were interested in and what resources could be used to bring the ideas to life.
The children talked about what they might need for their experiences, including materials for bird feeders and a nature-based art activity. 🌿
Natalie then gathered ideas from educators about where the experiences could happen and how they could involve the older preschool children. She also reached out to families, asking for recycled plastic bottles to help create the bird feeders. ♻️

What we love about this assessment is that the experience wasn't simply planned for the children.
It was developed with them. 🤝
Natalie listened, gathered ideas, involved families and educators, implemented the experiences and then reflected on how the children responded.
That’s the kind of practical knowledge we want our students developing — because good early childhood practice starts with relationships, listening and responding. 🌱

💾 SAVE THIS: Next time you're planning an experience, start with the people around you. Ask the children. Talk with your team. Involve families. You might be surprised where the idea takes you.
What’s an activity your children have helped you plan recently? 👇

One thing people don't always see is the learning happening behind the scenes.
At ACEC, continuous improvement isn't just something we teach our students, it's something we actively invest in as a team.
Our trainers have either completed or are currently completing the mandatory Advanced Child Safety Training to ensure our knowledge and practices continue to reflect current expectations across the Early Childhood Education and Care sector.
The training explores topics including creating child-safe cultures, professional boundaries, listening to children's voices, consent and body safety, responding to disclosures, documentation, risk assessment and supporting children, families and colleagues.
As a Registered Training Organisation specialising in Early Childhood Education and Care, it's important that our training, resources and student support continue to evolve alongside changes in the sector.
Quality training starts with trainers who are committed to learning too.

Before you judge an activity… hear us out. 👇

Not every learning experience needs to be Pinterest perfect.

Sometimes the richest learning happens with a hammer, a handful of nails, recycled jar lids and a piece of timber.

Children are taking considered risks, developing hand eye coordination, strengthening fine motor skills, solving problems and building confidence with real tools and interesting materials.

As educators, our role isn’t to create beautiful invitations to play every day. It’s to create meaningful opportunities that challenge children, spark curiosity and support capable learners.

Sometimes the most valuable learning doesn’t look polished. It looks like this. 💙

What skills can you see the children developing and what will you plan?

Content creation doesn’t always go as planned… 😂
Our team had our amazing students ready to go. Everyone knew their part. We thought we were recording…

Turns out we hit stop instead of start and captured a beautiful shot of the floor. 🤦‍♀️🎥

Thankfully everyone was happy to have another go and we ended up with some great content and plenty of laughs along the way. 💙

Thank you to our awesome students for being such great sports!
