ELAA’s ten-year vision for excellence in early learning is laid out in our Strategic Action Plan . The vision focuses on 5 ‘Big Things’:
- Ongoing funding from all Australian Governments that supports a minimum of 15 hours of high quality, accessible and affordable early learning for every Australian child in the two years before school.
- A wealth of accessible, compelling, Australian-based research driving practice and demonstrating the value of quality early learning to children’s development.
- A qualified, highly skilled early learning workforce that is acknowledged and rewarded for its professionalism.
- New integrated service models supported by research that meet the needs of children from communities of social and economic disadvantage, and children with additional needs.
- A united, collaborative early learning sector that speaks with an influential voice in the public domain.
