Fraser Foundation Launches Free Professional Development Series for Early Childhood Educators

Giving Back to Our Early Childhood Community

The Fraser Foundation is proud to announce the launch of a new free professional development (PD) series for Australia’s early childhood education community. This initiative is our way of giving back to the sector that works so hard to shape young minds. We’ve heard the call for more accessible training and resources, and we’re answering with an uplifting series of webinars at no cost to participants. In doing so, we honor your dedication and passion, and we reaffirm our mission to support and uplift those who educate our youngest learners every day.

They are gathered around a table with kitchen utensils, condiments, and a black pan.

Supporting Educators at Every Level

Whether you’re a student teacher just starting your journey, a qualified educator in the classroom, or a seasoned centre director leading a team, this PD series is designed for you. We know that everyone in the early childhood field – from aspiring educators to veteran leaders – plays a crucial role in children’s futures. That’s why our free webinars will cater to all levels of experience and leadership. Each session will offer valuable insights, practical strategies, and inspiration relevant to students, educators, and sector leaders alike. By fostering growth at every stage of your career, we aim to strengthen the entire early childhood education community.
