Welcome from Ros Cornish, ECA National President
The Early Childhood Australia National Conference is one the most eagerly awaited events by those who work with young children across a myriad of professions. It brings together early childhood educators, teachers, academics, leaders and other allied professionals from all around Australia and indeed overseas, to be inspired and share ideas and experiences in an environment of collegiality and collaboration.
It is an opportunity to challenge and be challenged, to affirm and be affirmed, to reflect critically and constructively, and importantly celebrate the achievements and gains made in our genuine effort to improve outcomes for children, their families and those who work with them each day.
The 2018 National Conference in Sydney is an opportunity to renew acquaintances and make new ones during the conference and associated events. I look forward to welcoming participants particularly as Early Childhood Australia celebrates its 80th year of advocacy and support on behalf of young children.
