Who owns Aussie Childcare Network?
Aussie Childcare Network Pty Ltd is a Registered Australian Private Company (ABN 48 614 251 704). This website is an Australian website based in Sydney, New South Wales (NSW). When this site was developed back in Nov 2009, we found there was a real need for a unique website that is dedicated for Childcare Educators and Students to help and support each other in early childhood education and learning. Aussie Childcare Network was born - as a website purely dedicated in supporting and sharing knowledge with other Early Childhood Educators and we take pride in saying that we are probably 'the first successful website with dedicated support for educators in Australia'!
We feel empowered to share our knowledge, experiences and skills of what we learnt throughout our time as a student and an educator with others. We love understanding how other educators develop their own practices and learning about what works for them.
We belong to such a vast industry with so many different teaching practices, strategies and principles according to each individual that it's so important that we learn from one another. Aussie Childcare Network provides that bridge to network with educators and students from Australia, to enable us to come together and share our wealth of information that builds a foundation for children's learning. This is what makes Aussie Childcare Network unique and different from all other websites and blogs.
