Early Childhood Coaching, led by an approved SRF coach, is a transformative journey designed to elevate early childhood education.

Early childhood coaching is a powerful tool for enhancing the quality of early childhood education and care. By providing targeted support and guidance, coaches can significantly impact the development and learning of young children.
Coaches can help educators implement evidence-based strategies to promote optimal child development, create engaging and effective learning environments, build strong relationships with families, and advance their own professional practice. They can also support educators in mastering effective teaching strategies, developing strong classroom management skills, differentiating instruction, utilising assessment tools, and collaborating with colleagues.
By investing in early childhood coaching, we can ensure that all children have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
“When considering the use of a coach, services should ensure that the coach is suitably qualified and that they can deliver coaching support that is high quality and appropriate for early childhood education settings.
Services should enquire about a coach’s previous experience working with kindergarten programs, their qualifications, the approach they take and the outcomes they have achieved through previous coaching work.
Coaches should have a sound understanding of the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF) and be able to demonstrate an ability to work in accordance with the eight practice principles. In the coaching process there should be a particular focus on the practice principal ‘reflective practice’. Coaches should also be able to demonstrate their working knowledge of the National Quality Framework with particular reference to national quality standards areas 1 and 5.”
We know that remote or regional communities and services can have heavily reduced access to coaching and support services, so we support the Early Learning Sector by accommodating all areas. For very remote or regional communities, we work out an additional charge for travel and if necessary, accomodation. The learning team at Making Education can work with you to see what this may look like for you and your service.
For anyone looking to use Kindy Uplift or School Readiness Funding, this can be included within the funding amount.

Early childhood coaching can be highly customized and flexible to meet the specific needs of each service. Here are some ways this can be achieved:
Individualised Support –Â Coaches can work one-on-one with educators to address specific challenges or goals, such as improving classroom management, enhancing pedagogical practices, or developing leadership skills.
Service-Wide Initiatives –Â Coaches can work with leadership teams to develop and implement broader initiatives, such as improving quality ratings, enhancing professional development, or strengthening partnerships with families.
Flexible Delivery Models:
In-Person Coaching –Â Face-to-face coaching sessions allow for direct observation, modeling, and real-time feedback.
Remote Coaching –Â Online coaching sessions provide flexibility and accessibility, enabling coaches to work with educators across different locations.
Blended Learning –Â A combination of in-person and remote coaching can provide a comprehensive and tailored approach.
Customisable Frequency and Duration:
Short-Term Support – For specific needs or challenges, coaching can be provided in short bursts, such as a few focused sessions.
Long-Term Partnerships – For ongoing professional development and organizational change, coaching can be offered over longer periods, with regular check-ins and support.
Adaptable Coaching Approaches:
Coaching Styles –Â Coaches can adjust their coaching style to suit the individual learning preferences and needs of educators.
By customising and tailoring coaching to the specific needs of the service, early childhood providers can maximize the impact of coaching on educator development, teaching practices, and ultimately, child outcomes.
