Are your team struggling to connect with the children or families in your service? Perhaps you have new team members that haven't been able to find their feet with the children yet? Or maybe your service has gotten so big that you can't possibly remember everyone's name!

Together we will consider the importance of relational pedagogy, and how we can collaboratively grow our deep knowledge of children so we are better equipt to meet their needs in OSHC.
