CONN.ECT Networking Event for Early Childhood Teachers

Early Childhood Teachers of SYDNEY NSW, and surrounds!

Looking for moments of joy in the complexity of teaching?
Missing the moments of connection, play and purpose that brought you to teaching?
Curious about how joy can be noticed, protected and shared - even in difficult times?

Join us for an evening of shared joy, connection and conversation.
This session invites educators to pause, tinker, play and reflect on the role of joy in teaching - not as something extra, but as something essential.
