This is the place to talk all things Early Years Education.
We all know how important the formative years in life are. Whether it be nannying, family day care, kinder, or pre-school, all these experiences can have a lasting effect on our young ones.
What have been your experiences?

Hey Everyone,
I worked as a pre-school/Kinder teacher for about 13 years.
It was pretty good. I actually enjoyed the paper work, accreditation etc. I think the hardest part was working with others who you could tell were there for the sake of the job, rather than enjoy it.
I worked in both NSW and VIC services.
I later wanted a change so I moved to early years primary education.
I'll continue me story there.
