About
The ACT committee responds to national and local issues at regular meetings and in consultation with the membership. The ACT committee provides a voice to early childhood professionals and is committed to supporting and promoting best practice early childhood education. ECA members from ACT receive newsletters from our committee periodically with content provided by an early childhood professional or community member.
The Committee has membership from across all sectors of early childhood services and is keen to provide support for all persons who work in this area in Canberra. It also hopes to foster dialogue and interactions between workers to assist in the understanding of the range of services available to families.
