Engaging Curriculum Solutions provides early childhood professional development sessions for the wonderful educators in or around Sydney and the Central Coast NSW. Our professional development days are primarily run from the Everglades Country Club (Woy Woy), Alkira Early Learning Centre (Wamberal), Magpies Waitara (Waitara) and Karstens (The Rocks), and are fully catered to. We will also send you home with a resource kit so you can continue to follow up on your interests. We appreciate the importance of professional development in early childhood and aim to provide sessions which are relevant to the needs of local services.
Our professional development days are designed to be informative and inspiring and will always reflect the National Quality Standards and the national curriculum: Belonging, Being and Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework. We believe in lifelong learning with educators too! For this reason we aim to inspire educators to become proactive in their own research through engaging them in meaningful professional development sessions.

Kate’s sessions provoke powerful, passionate discussions to improve the way we interact, engage and educate. She shares many useful strategies and practical examples - I could honestly listen to Kate for hours!
Many of the Educators at our Service have had the pleasure of attending various training sessions presented by Kate, which we all thoroughly enjoyed and look forward to opportunities to engage with her in the future!

"I was lucky enough to work with and call Kate my mentor when I graduated from my bachelor of teaching in 2014 and get to know her both on a professional and personal level. Kate gave me the confidence to become a leading early childhood teacher in a high quality service and then into my career as a centre director.
Kate has a passion for early childhood education that goes deeper than teaching children and managing staff. Her commitment to her research and growth as an early childhood professional has resulted in many professional developments rich in content and theory that I have had the privilege to attend.
Get out your notepad and a pen and be ready to be inspired. This lady's professional developments are a must for a successful career working with children" Lauren, Centre Director

"It doesn’t matter how long I spend with Kate- whether it is 5 mins or the whole day, she is always able to make me think deeply about my interactions with children, educators and families. I always come away with more questions and a thirst to learn more.
I can not recommend Kate more to anyone who wants to challenge their thinking and ideas about early childhood and you will be amazed at what you come away with." Emily, Centre Director
