Day of Action for Quality Early Childhood Services

Tuesday 1st December - "Day of Action"
On Tuesday ring the Prime Minister ( 02 6277 7700) and tell him that Option 3 is a starting point but that Option 4 is where we need to set the goal posts! Quality early years services are not negotiable.

"Hands Up for Quality" Early Childhood Australia

 Hi All

Early Childhood Australia is currently running a “Hands Up for Quality” campaign.
On 7 December 2009 COAG will decide the future for quality in Australia's early childhood education and care services. ECA currently have a campaign running to tell the governments to stand firm and make a national commitment for:

• improved regulated staff-to-child ratios in centres
• all services to have well-trained and qualified staff
• an accreditation system that requires these standards.

Evidence says that these standards will lead to better quality outcomes for children and short and long term productivity gains for the nation.

I am asking for your support in this matter. You can support this campaign by sending an ecard to your states government and an email to the Prime Minister. Simply click on the link below.

Send this to all those you think want the best for Australia’s children.

Thanks for your support

Stephanie
