A child being barefoot can stimulate a variety of senses for children. The feeling of cool prickly grass in the shade, the warm soft grass in the sun, the gritty concrete path, the stones that prick their toes, expanding and bending their toes to grip to run faster. It gives children a sense of different textures under their feet and it helps their feet develop naturally.

Educators, like all other professionals, stand to benefit from feedback. However, the dynamic environment of their work and the well-being of children in their care make it particularly crucial that any feedback given to them is fair and constructive.

Reggio Emilia Early Learning Centre has come up with details of its staff reward program known as Evolve Employee Rewards, benefits and rewards that will be provided to all the employees around its 12 campuses. 

Fair Work Commission has extended the entitlement to unpaid pandemic leave and annual leave at half pay for the Children's Services Award until 30 September 2020.

Educators can maximise tax deductions by claiming classroom supplies, training, union fees, and home office costs this financial year.

For Educators who are currently receiving JobKeeper payments, the Children's Services Award 2010, still applies.

eSafety recognises that educators work closely with the families of the children in their care. So they have designed the eSafety Early Years program to support that important relationship to improve online safety for young Australians.
