Early Childhood Professional Development Courses
Essential Resources believes in learning.
We have over 20 years of experience publishing resources for the early childhood and care sector in Australia. We work alongside highly-experienced education professionals to create material that helps maximise children’s potential and gives educators the tools and strategies they need to make a difference.
Our online professional development courses are specifically designed for educators working in the early childhood education and care sector and for parents/carers and families. They focus on building and refreshing existing knowledge and skills and improving pedagogical practice.

The online modules provide a wealth of info in a clear presentation that is easy to watch and be responsive to. They will fit perfectly into our hoped goals for staff under the SRF for this year.
