Feedback from Remote Learner
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Donna and Louise for their unwavering support throughout my journey to complete my Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care. Your dedication has made what once felt impossible, possible . The time, energy, and expertise you both invested in me and my colleagues has not gone unnoticed, and I am truly grateful.
Your commitment went beyond just providing study support – you travelled to Brewarrina to be with us, offering both theoretical knowledge and practical, hands-on demonstrations that brought the learning to life. The patience and guidance you shared have been instrumental in shaping my understanding of the work we do in ECEC. To my Maingirba ELC team, thank you for your support and for allowing me to grow alongside you. Through this experience, I’ve gained a deeper appreciation for the importance of advocating for educators to be able to support the children, families and our little community. Your willingness to learn and collaborate has been a true gift.
For anyone considering further study in this field, I cannot recommend you enough! Donna and Louise are a team of two pocket rockets and how they approach study and coming out onsite It truly has made a difference.
The results speak for themselves – at Maingirba Early Learning Centre, we’ve seen 4 educators become Cert III trained, I’ve completed my Diploma, and an additional 5 educators have signed up to complete Cert III marking a significant achievement for Brewarrina. especially after we tried other training providers that didn’t meet our needs. In particular my team learned better face to face and hands on, Donna and Louise you are our extended ELC family. Thank you once again to everyone who has supported me, my family and friends I love you and to those who are continuing to invest in their professional development – together, we’re creating positive change in early childhood education and for Brewarrina. Remember your reason and children only get one childhood
