Communication: build your skills and confidence
|
If you sometimes find it difficult to communicate effectively with the parents of the children in your care, you're definitely not alone. Raising concerns over a child’s development or behaviour to their parents or responding to concerns raised by parents can be daunting.
According to a 2016 Parenting Research Centre survey, 98 per cent of participating educators said they wanted training in partnering with families, specifically in how to conduct conversations with parents about the children in their care.

Helping families with the CCS
|
The next deadline for balancing the Child Care Subsidy is 30 June 2021, when families will have a second chance to report their 2018-2019 income, and the first opportunity to report their 2019-2020 income to be eligible for the subsidy.
Reporting income can be quite a tricky process for some families, so the government is encouraging ECEC services to remind families about the deadline and help them through the process as much as possible.
