As an early childhood professional, you know that pedagogy and play are central to your work with children. This event will encourage you to think—and rethink—about how you engage with these essential facets of your work. You will hear from some of Australia’s leading academics and educators about their current work exploring the intersection between play and learning.

You will also get the opportunity to explore the areas of mathematics, literacy and the creative arts through the lenses of play and pedagogy. Come and connect with your fellow educators and colleagues (at all stages of their careers) as they share their work and consider this important topic.
