· talking to parents about the educational program 2 Information sheet – Educational leader
· working with other early childhood professionals such maternal and child health nurses and early childhood intervention specialists
· considering how the program can be linked to the community by working with other community services and groups such as Aboriginal Elders
· establishing systems across the service to ensure there is continuity of learning when children change room or attend other services, and then in their transition to school
· assisting with documenting children’s learning and how these assessments can inform curriculum decision making.
