The Brighter Beginnings Connect & Communicate Toolkit has been created by the NSW Department of Education and NSW Health to support development of communication skills for 4-year-old children within early childhood education and care services. The toolkit equips early childhood educators with information and resources on 4-year-old communication development to use in everyday practice.
The webinar will cover 6 topic areas relating to the development of communication, each offering;
- information and relevant research
- evidence-based strategies and experience plans, with accompanying printable resources and video examples
- a family fact sheet to support sharing information with families
- links to key frameworks to support documentation.
