Early Childhood Educators’ Day is an opportunity to acknowledge the incredible work educators do to support children’s learning and development.
This year, the national celebration takes place on Wednesday 3 September 2025. We encourage all services to get involved and recognise and thank their team.
How to celebrate
There are many simple and meaningful ways you can mark the day and get families and children involved, including:
- add your service to the map of services taking part in the day
- organise an activity or morning tea
- put up posters in your communal areas to let your families and team know the day is coming up
- put a notice to families in your email newsletter
- post the ‘How are you going to say thank you?’ video on social media
- encourage children and their families to do something special like making a homemade card, contributing to a communal appreciation wall or dressing up for the day.
