Advocating the Childcare Sector Feat. Brent Stokes

In Episode 19 of Play it Forward, Lukas invites Brent Stokes into the studio for an informed and passionate conversation about the early education sector in Australia. Brent is the GM of the Australian Childcare Alliance Queensland, a not-for-profit member funded organisation that acts as the voice for over 850 early learning services, employing approximately 14,000 early childhood educators. Lukas and Brent talk a bit about policy and childcare subsidies during Covid, the sense of community and support in early education, ‘schoolifying’ early learning, the extraordinary value of early educators and a whole lot more. https://qld.childcarealliance.org.au/ https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/filling-emotional-cups-feat-sandi-phoenix/id1489276838?i=1000472744057 https://www.maggiedent.com/
