The NSW Government's Start Strong Funding

The NSW Government's Start Strong program provides funding to make early childhood education more affordable for children aged 3 to 5, offering significant fee relief to families and supporting quality preschool education.

Workforce Wages Challenges

The critical workforce and wage crisis in early childhood education. These challenges create a damaging cycle that threatens the stability and quality of early learning services. The piece calls for bold action—fair pay, professional development, supportive workplaces, and policy reforms—to build a sustainable future where educators are valued and empowered.

Happier Communities

People who know where they are going are happier, more confident and more able to handle the 'little' things that might spring up along the way. No doubt there will be the surprise of unforeseen circumstances in 2024, so how can you build the resiliency of staff, support workers and carers? One simple way is to share the vision and goals you hold for 2024!

Membership

Christian Early Learning Support Services provides faith-based guidance and coaching, assisting you in navigating the sector’s challenges with confidence and integrity.

The Sector

Utilisation of formal childcare is strong and growing as the proportion of families where both parents work increases with 49.3% of children 0-12 utilising some form of care.

It is estimated that there are currently around 480 providers of Christian Early Learning in Australia, incorporating both Church and school run early learning centres with no ONE-PLACE for governance, community or sector specific support, yet with contact and influence over more than 100,000 children daily

CEL is now that sector specific peak support body.

A place of equipping

Christian Early Learning (CEL) is a peak body of resourcing, inspiration and education around sector specific challenges, opportunities and outcomes, building faith, hope and community along the way.

In fact it's the underpinning vision of CEL to create a place of community and support for those contributing to this vital space in education.
