Feedback from teachers

Not only is Childspace an incredible institute and advocate for the Early Childhood Sector, they are also renowned for their epic, creative, educational and fun-filled conferences.

I have been attending Childspace conferences for over 10 years now and I still to this very day smile at the memories I have created with the unique individuals I have met. I am still astounded at the amazing people from all over the world I have listened to and shared theories and ideas with, and I sincerely sigh with love at the beautiful friendships I have made, that continue to flourish to this day.

Conference with Childspace is an educational, insightful and memorable journey, whether it is a one-day adventure or 3 days of shear AWESOMNESS. It will strengthen a team and boost morale, and if you travel and attend alone, you will be filled with newfound knowledge, new friendships and wisdom before you leave.

I highly recommend attending one or many of Childspace’s conferences to immerse yourself in all that we cherish and love about Early Childhood.

St Clair Corner has attended nearly all of Childspace Conferences.

Childspace always make us feel very welcome and special, they are well organised, invite interesting and inspiring guest speakers.

They incorporate fun activities that we can all participate

And they have art and craft experiences that we can take back to our centres.

We take back to our centres a wealth of information, experiences and new learnt skills.

We feed off the energy created by Toni and Robin.

We leave totally inspired at the end of conference.

I hope you have recovered from all the hard work of holding such a fantastic study tour for us last week.

I have never been so invigorated and charged with positive energy and buzzing with ideas as I have experienced throughout the tour and fortunately, ever since.

Thank you for such great learning experience.
