This masterclass is not just about empowering children to take the lead in their learning journey—it’s about empowering YOU to confidently communicate why that matters.

With the 4 Corners report putting childcare under intense scrutiny, Family Day Care educators must be able to clearly articulate their value—to parents, to regulators, and to the wider community.

In this three-night free training, you’ll learn how to step back so children can step up—gaining independence, confidence, and deeper engagement in their learning. But more than that, you’ll also gain the skills to observe more deeply, understand each child's unique needs, and speak about your practice with clarity and confidence.

We’ll dive into:
✅ The art of deep observation—so you can provide a truly personalised learning experience.
✅ Making friends with Observations and Intentional Teaching—prioritising quality over quantity in your documentation.
✅ The power of articulating your FDC difference—so families and decision-makers understand and appreciate what you do.

With the childcare sector under the spotlight, now is the time to own your impact and showcase why FDC is so important.

Get ready to step back and watch the children take the lead—while you step up as an educator who truly stands out.

Day 1

March 24th, 7pm

You'll learn why it's essential not to do for children what they can do for themselves. We'll discuss how this can take away impetus and willpower, setting children up for a future where they rely on instructions rather than taking initiative. You'll learn how to encourage children to do things for themselves, and we'll discuss strategies for getting families on board.

Day 2

March 25th, 7pm

You’ll learn how to look at each child holistically and follow their lead. You'll discover firsthand how doing less allows more space for children to practice their skills, and we'll explore together the importance of noticing different interactions without your input. By the end of the masterclass, you'll feel confident in your offerings, choosing a course of action and sticking with it consistently.

Day 3

March 26th, 7pm

You will discover how to observe with a clear intent and without judgments. You will learn to allow events to unfold naturally without intervening and to simplify matters. You can keep a few tasks handy to occupy yourself while listening without participating in play. Use your observations to set goals for the children and adjust your teaching strategies accordingly. You'll be amazed at the difference it makes when you're not leading play!
