As the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA) advances its Inclusive Practice Framework, early childhood centres across Australia are seeking proven ways to lead in inclusive education and child wellbeing. Playball stands at the forefront—delivering intentional, purposeful teaching practices that meet sector standards and support every child’s growth.
Why Inclusive Practice Starts in the Early Years
The early years of education are foundational for developing social-emotional learning (SEL), resilience, and lifelong wellbeing. Current research underscores that inclusive environments provide significant benefits—not only for children with additional needs but for every learner.
By promoting inclusion from the start:
- Children gain self-esteem and a lasting sense of belonging.
- They learn to value, appreciate, and respect differences among peers.
- Groups develop resilience, cooperation, and skills essential for long-term wellbeing.
The Value of Inclusive Early Childhood Environments
Inclusive early childhood curricula create a safe, empowering culture where every child can fully participate and thrive. ACECQA’s guidelines prioritize these outcomes, making it essential for centres to align with the latest frameworks and best practices.
