Season 2 - Episode 8: Every Step Matters - A Philosophy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week on The Educators Edit, Jackie sits down with Tayla and Vanessa from TGA Oatley to unpack the heart behind their newly reworked centre philosophy, “Every Step Matters on Their Journey Up.”
More than just words on a wall, this philosophy was created collaboratively by their entire team, drawing from real educator experiences, challenges, growth, relationships and the everyday moments that shape life in early childhood.
Together, they chat about:
- What makes a philosophy feel genuine and lived, not just laminated
- Why educator growth deserves just as much recognition as children’s development
- The quiet moments in ECEC that often have the biggest impact
- Building a strong team culture in early childhood
- Supporting educators through confidence, reflection and growth
- The importance of relationships, connection and belonging within a service
A thoughtful, emotional and inspiring conversation for anyone working in early childhood.
