🗓️ Date: Saturday, November 29, 2025
⏰ Time: 9:00am till 12:00pm
📍 Location: TBC
🎟️ Audience: VSKEA members, early childhood educators, and education professionals

In a time where our roles are expanding, expectations are rising, and sector-wide recognition is long overdue, professionalism in early childhood education and care (ECEC) is more important than ever.

This year’s VSKEA Conference, Elevating Professionalism in ECEC, will bring educators together to explore what professionalism really means today: in our practice, in our policies, and in the way we advocate for ourselves and each other.

Through powerful presentations and shared dialogue, we’ll spotlight the skills, knowledge, leadership, and values that define our work, and how asserting our professional identity can drive lasting change across the sector.

Who’s Attending?

This conference is designed for VSKEA members, co-educators, teachers, leaders, and professionals working across early childhood settings in Victoria. Whether you’re just starting out or decades into your career, you’ll walk away with new insights, connections, and confidence in your professional role.

The Big Picture

ECEC is a profession built on relationships, cultural knowledge, care, and complexity. Yet it remains undervalued. The more we see ourselves as professionals, the more powerfully we can advocate for the pay, conditions, and respect our work deserves.

Let’s come together to celebrate, challenge, and shape the future of professionalism in ECEC.
