🏫 School Readiness: What Parents Need to Know in 2025 and Beyond Starting school is a big milestone — and in 2025, being “school ready” means more than just knowing letters and numbers.

🎶 Ever wondered why we sing in science? Here’s why it matters! Because music makes learning stick! It gets children smiling, moving, and engaged. It supports different learning styles — sound, rhythm, and movement. And it’s a powerful literacy tool — helping little learners hear sounds, build vocabulary, and grow confidence. When we sing in science, we’re not just making noise… we’re building curious minds and confident voices! Check out my full video to see how songs help bring science — and literacy — to life! #Kindyscience #stemeducation #Earlylearning #GardnersMultipleintelligences #childcare #brisbane_australia #Learningthatsticks #Kindyfun #Musicandliteracy #STEMforkids #earlychildhoodeducator #Sciencesongs #childcare

More than 5000 children are waiting for learning support in schools or early childhood centres with average waiting times of just under three months, according to Ministry of Education data. Staff delivering the ministry-funded specialist services say children, parents and teachers are often waiting much longer than the official data shows because of the way service start dates are recorded. Two specialist learning support staff and NZEI members, who The Press has agreed not to name, said it was common for a minor interaction with parents - such as a phone call to check which school or childcare centre the child attended - to be recorded as the start of the service.

Having recruited in early childhood education, working with one of Australia’s largest providers, I’ve witnessed the power of quality training to transform teams. It’s not just about meeting compliance. It’s about building confident, passionate educators who bring their best to every child, every day. As a parent, I’ve felt the difference too. When my son was in early learning for five years, the educators who stood out were the ones who felt supported and valued. The difference between a burnt-out educator and one who is empowered is night and day. And when it’s your child in their care, that difference matters. Training is not a cost. It’s a culture shift. If you're in early learning, now is the time to invest in your people. Providers like genU Training offer practical, tailored support to develop your workforce and lift the quality of care across the board. From an EVP perspective, this is a no-brainer. It drives engagement, reduces turnover, and helps build a reputation that attracts both talent and families.
