Connecting early childhood and care centres to businesses and resources

Improving the ECEC sector

Early Learning Australia is a forward-thinking consultancy firm steadfast on driving innovation and fostering growth within the Australian early childhood education and care (ECEC) sector.

In an era marked by significant funding increases and necessary sector-wide transformation, our mission is to assist ECEC centres in navigating these changes by providing critical guidance on federal/state government funding allocations and private grants. 

As the landscape of ECEC continues to evolve and strengthen, our primary goal is to ensure that these vital centres understand the complexities of available government funding, optimise their operations, and maximise their growth potential through the strategic allocation of these resources.

Our approach is multi-faceted, beginning with the education of key decision-makers within ECEC centres.

We work closely with directors, centre managers, and key staff to ensure they understand how funding is allocated and how to best utilise these funds to benefit their children and families.

By equipping these decision-makers with the knowledge and tools they need, we empower them to make informed decisions that positively impact their financial stability, operational efficiency, and overall quality of care.

Early Learning Australia connects the ECEC sector with a curated network of carefully vetted and trusted suppliers. These preferred suppliers provide products and services specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of centres nationwide. 

Through connecting early learning places with reputable vendors, we ensure funding is maximised, operational efficiency is enhanced, and ECEC standards are elevated. Ultimately safeguarding the well-being and success of Australia's youngest generation, and those to follow.
