The ECDA (Early Childhood Development Agency) Fellows programme is one of ECDA’s key initiatives to recognise pinnacle leaders in the early childhood profession and expand opportunities for these leaders to further develop their careers and to fulfil their aspirations.

Everyone is an individual in their own right with talents, limitations, and challenges. Diversity is a strength that opens up great opportunities, but it needs to be understood and accepted. Relationships that are built on trust, guidance and empowerment are the key to authentic beginnings and successful endings.
I feel strongly about equity and quality interactions in ECCE. I believe in advocating for equity which focuses on providing relevant opportunities for all based on their needs. So, I invite colleagues to rethink the way we interact with our children. My aspiration is to influence educators to look beyond operational demands and truly connect with children to effect significant and lasting outcomes.
