Purpose: Our purpose is to identify and establish linkages within the Child Care and Early Years community that support and build upon the expertise of Early Years Practitioners and enhance the quality of the services they provide. Objectives: Our objectives are to provide continuous professional learning opportunities and resources for early years practitioners, accessible opportunities and resources for practitioners to share as a means to learn through collaborative inquiry, and a mechanism for practitioners to reflect on and deepen their understanding of professional practice.
