Ms BELL (Moncrieff) (17:39): I begin by thanking the incredible educators, carers, centre directors and all of the support staff working in early childhood education and care across Australia because the work that you do is invaluable. Every day, you help educate and nurture our youngest, littlest learners, preparing them for school, for learning and, […]
