We run six early years centres in Tasmania. We have been lucky enough to have listened to both Alice and June on many occasions and having spend a couple of weeks in Scotland sharing practice, visiting centres and soaking up the thinking from conversation sessions we were eager to take it back to our side of the world and upskill our staff teams.
The films are full of humour, insight and challenge. Pausing them and listening to the thoughts of our team was just awesome. Then noticing how they were changing the way they talked about learning, their planning and their thinking around the play was just brilliant.
Our newly qualified staff are travelling slowly, our longer-term staff are focusing in on specific areas for improvement and we are looking to the programme to be our long-term solution over the next few years.
We are now keen for Alice and June to come to Tasmania and bring the programme to a wider audience in our network across Tasmania and Australia.
