As one year ends and another begins we can reflect upon what we leave behind and look forward to all that offers us in the days ahead.
Early Childhood Educators: Professional Development 2012
Emotional Intelligence
Welcome
Early Life Foundations is a not for profit organisation and research centre for children’s education and parent support. Its conception grew from the work of Kathy Walker and Associates during the late 90’s and early 2000’s. The commitment was and continues to be to work with parents and other organisations to provide an independent voice to the community about children’s education and well being. The organisation grew exponentially through community presentations, parent consultations and workshops, consultancy to schools, particularly in the area of early year’s curriculum through The Walker Learning Approach (Australian Developmental Curriculum) and assessments of children.
