How Prepared is Your Child Care Service to genuinely engage with Fathers?

This provocative session shows that our good intentions when dealing with fathers in child care services can be a little off target at times.

As the fathering role is changing it's important that we re-look at how we interact with fathers within our child care centres.

We provide exciting small projects and suggestions for you to implement easily into your service for the goal of engaging more Dad's.

Taming the Beast – Support, guide and survive the challenging child - Duration 30 minutes

How committed are you in making a difference to a child's behaviour?

This universal topic looks not only at the "tip of the ice berg" of guiding behaviour but delves deep down below the surface to discover the messages that the child is trying to send us. This session aims to support the early childhood professional move from the approach of simply reacting to a child's behaviour to actually teaching the child how to develop responsible behaviour and independence. It explores a holistic approach of creating a profile on the child and developing collaborative teaching strategies to build positive outcomes for the child.

The Point Preschool is holding its annual sustainability expo on the 28th March between 10am - 3pm at their child care centre situated at 89R Greenpoint Rd, Oyster Bay, Sydney.

Recent runners up in the 2008 ABC Gardening Australia competition and winners of the 2007 Sutherland Shire small business adwards for most outstanding child care service, the Point Preschool know all about sustainability and recycling and are now in the 3rd year of their amazing annual expo.

This is one event to mark on your calenders and not to be missed!!

Onsite Early Childhood Training are proud supporters of this amazing sustainability expo and we look forward to seeing you all there!

Here at Onsite Early Childhood Training we love to hear your feedback and comments on the training we provide.

This brand new forum we have just added is where you can post the childcare training topic's you would like us to see cover.

With so many areas of child care and child care staff training that could be covered, we really would like to hear from you on what your top topic's would be or what are the top issue's affecting your centre or staff that you would like help with?

A key area that we get a lot of questions about is the whole issue of accreditation and making sure that your centre is up to standard when an assessor may call. Is accreditation a key area of concern for you or your staff??

Maybe setting up learning centre's or a session on how to take great photo's and edit them using photo editing software is what your staff are asking for?

No matter what topic's or issue's you have we want to know about them!

Please feel free to discuss any issue's you may have on child care staff training in the brand new "training topic's" forum which you can easily find by clicking on the link below.

The brand new Childcare forum is now live and is a great place to discuss all things childcare and childcare staff training related.

Our first forum added is an area called "General Discussions" which is a forum where you can discuss anything related to the childcare profession or child care staff training.

We know that often childcare director's and centre manager's, and especially childcare staff often feel isolated and unsupported in the child care profession.

This general discussion forum was developed with this situation in mind and we hope to provide an place where all people involved with childcare and childcare staff training can come and post there thought's, ideas or issue's they maybe currently experiencing.

So feel free to post away on any topics you like as long as they relate somehow to the childcare profession!
