Connecting Educators with Evidence Based Support for Diverse Classrooms

Practical training, resources, and support for Kindy and Early Education teams

At Cooee Speech Pathology, we know educators play a vital role in shaping children’s growth and learning. Our speech pathologists and occupational therapists love working alongside Kindy teachers, childcare educators, and centre directors to share knowledge, solve challenges, and create classrooms where every child can thrive.

Whether you’re looking to use your Kindy Uplift Funding, upskill your team, or access ready-to-go resources — we’ve got flexible options to support you.

 

Professional Learning for Educators
