Each year as part of Children’s Week, Meerilinga creates innovative professional learning content for early childhood professionals. These free, accessible education resources are developed in order to support WA’s wonderful professional early learning community. (If you’re a parent, feel free to listen in too!)
As leaders in the early childhood space, Meerilinga collaborates with highly renowned experts to deliver valuable, relevant content for early childhood educators. Our aim is to elevate the wellbeing of children in our community by equipping educators and carers from all backgrounds with tools for promoting healthy, positive childhoods.
In previous years, we have run popular in-person events and webinars (see 2020’s webinar on The Power of Participation below!). In 2021, we are excited to be hosting a three-part Children’s Week special podcast series as part of Meerilinga’s Positive Childhoods podcast. Watch this space for details!
