Innovative Practices for the Delivery of Online Early Childhood Education: eKindy and Therapy Connect Partnership Model

Abstract

This workshop will focus on innovative practices for the delivery of online early childhood education for rural, remote and families located across the globe. The first part of the workshop will showcase the pedagogical practice of eKindy Queensland in providing interactive online sessions and an “at home” program for preschool children ranging between 3.5 to 5.5 years. The online sessions encourage children to have agency over their learning and connect them to the wider community. The program enables the educator to offer inclusive education and caters for diversity, distance and social differences. The second part of the workshop will outline a successful partnership model between eKindy Queensland and Therapy Connect. Therapy Connect delivers high quality, evidence based speech and occupational therapy services online to children and families anywhere, anytime. This partnership enables equitable outcomes for rural, remote and isolated children and families so they are set up for future success.
