A huge thank you to the OWNA team and keynote speaker Sandi Phoenix from Phoenix Support for Educators for such a valuable event at the 2025 OWNA Meet Up!

Our Founder and Principal Consultant Giselle Rayward took members of the Bask Early Learning and Penguin Early Education Leadership Teams yesterday to Sydney, to connect with fellow educators and dive into practical workshops about smarter payroll, family accounts, using documentation tools, and growing waitlists and enrolments.

It’s always a bonus when we get to hear strategies that help us bring even more curiosity and care to our children and families.

🫶🏼GAME CHANGING NEWS FOR THE ECE SECTOR🫶🏼

The Fair Work Commission just dropped amazing news - proposing a 15-23% wage increase for our incredible educators. Finally, the recognition our sector deserves!

What does this mean? Better outcomes for our little ones through stronger educator relationships. Families can count on more consistent care, and our amazing educators will get the fair pay they've always deserved.

This isn't just a pay rise - it's about valuing the incredible work happening in early learning centers across Australia.

So incredibly proud of Lucy Schweizer Cook and her ability to recreate magic for children, families and communities again and again.

Watch this space as Penguin Early Education and Adelie Early Education Consulting join forces to launch this beautiful new brand focused on community connections and guiding children to be confident and capable learners.

🌟 Embracing New Beginnings at Penguin Early Education 🌟

Just a few months ago, Penguin Early Education was merely a dream. Today, it stands as a vibrant reality, nurturing the minds of our little ones in Boronia Heights. As we prepare to open our doors to families and their precious children on Monday 3rd February, we are filled with immense pride and hope for what lies ahead.

We've all heard the saying "it takes a village", and at Penguin Early Education, our village (or Huddle in Penguin terms) is strong and committed. Our nurturing team of dedicated educators, includes FIVE bachelor-qualified teachers, meaning every child in our service has access to programs delivered by a university qualified early childhood teacher. We are more than just educators—we are partners in each child's early learning journey.

Our journey is just beginning, and we invite you to be a part of it. Whether you're a parent, educator, or community member, your support means the world to us. Together, let's create a legacy of exceptional early education for our future leaders.

“Monday dread is a leadership problem. Here are three ways to fix it:

1. LISTEN TO YOUR EMPLOYEES: Understand their frustrations and barriers to success.

2. BUILD A SENSE OF PURPOSE: Connect daily tasks to a meaningful mission.

3. CREATE A CULTURE OF FLEXIBILITY: Support work-life balance to reduce burnout.

Culture isn’t just perks or slogans. It’s how your team feels at 6pm on Sunday. Fix that, and Mondays take care of themselves. Leadership starts where dread ends.”

🐧 WHY PENGUINS? 🐧

The name Adelie (pronounced “ah” + “dee” + “lee”) embodies our commitment to supporting educators to guide and nurture children by equipping them with the knowledge and tools they need as they begin their educational journey.

Penguin colonies are renowned for their strong family bonds, lasting social connections, and dedication to the care and protection of their young. Specifically, the Adelie penguin colony collaborates to provide thorough care for their delicate chicks, safeguarding them from predators and harsh environmental conditions.

Adelie highlights the importance of community, encouraging close relationships with parents and children. It’s a name that speaks to our educators guiding the children’s development and ensuring care, safety and compassion is paramount.
