About Early Childhood Outreach
Early Childhood Outreach provides training, coaching and mentoring for early childhood educators, services and teams, with a focus on creating inclusive, supportive and responsive education and care environments. Our work builds the knowledge, confidence and capacity of the people around the child, helping educators put practical strategies into action within their everyday practice.
Our story
Early Childhood Outreach was founded by Andrea Broughton in 2018 after recognising that educators in regional and rural areas did not always have the same access to professional development, coaching and support as their metropolitan counterparts.
What began with a focus on supporting educators across rural and remote Victoria has grown into an organisation providing professional learning and support across Australia.
Through flexible delivery, collaboration between services and online and face-to-face options, Early Childhood Outreach aims to make practical professional development accessible regardless of location.
Our approach to inclusion
Our work focuses on supporting the inclusion and wellbeing of children with neurodivergence, developmental delays or disabilities in education and care settings.
Rather than focusing only on the child, Early Childhood Outreach works with educators, therapists and the other people around them. By building educator knowledge, confidence and capacity, we help teams better understand individual children and develop inclusive approaches that can become part of everyday practice.
Training, coaching and mentoring are practical, flexible and tailored to the needs and challenges of individual services and educators.
