Journey Academy – An Opportunity Like No Other

At Journey Early Learning, we believe in nurturing not only the growth and development of the children in our care but also the continuous learning and professional development of our educators. That’s why we are proud to offer our Journey Academy, which stands out as a beacon of opportunity for you and all our dedicated team members.

A Helping Hand When You Need It Most

In the fast-paced world of early childhood education, it’s not uncommon to find yourself challenged with various tasks. Just like many of our educators, you may have encountered situations where you’ve had to grapple with new experiences that weren’t initially in your purview. Journey Academy offers the helping hand you need when you’re faced with new responsibilities or challenges. It’s about leveraging the collective knowledge and skills of our team to ensure everyone thrives.

Tap into Your Forte

Journey Academy is designed to bring out the best in you. It’s about recognising your strengths and passions. Just like every individual has unique abilities, Journey Academy helps you discover and maximise your talents. Whether you excel in curating classroom experiences, administrative tasks, or specialised skills, this program empowers you to shine in your element.

A Learning Community Like No Other

One of the exceptional features of Journey Academy is the sense of community it fosters. You’re never alone in your learning journey. Journey Academy recognises the diversity in learning styles and provides a supportive environment where you can learn, grow, and collaborate with like-minded colleagues.

Empowering all Educators for the Future

Journey Academy isn’t just about the here and now; it’s about preparing you for the future. Learning experiences can be as diverse as the children we care for. The resources, expertise, and knowledge you gain from Journey Academy become a part of your toolkit, ensuring you’re well-equipped to provide the best care and education to the children in our centres.

Our highlights for you

4C, Toni Christie, and the Self and much more

We understand that education is an evolving profession. That’s why Journey Academy places a particular emphasis on the 4C approach, which focuses on communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical reflection. It’s about equipping you with the skills needed to adapt to the ever-changing needs of your team and our young learners.

Additionally, Toni Christie, a dedicated member of our community, is here to guide you through her valuable expertise.

Our work with The SELF (Social Emotional Learning Foundation) provides our educators with a deep understanding of why connection and attunement are so incredibly impactful in our classrooms when engaging with the children we care for and educate each day.

Lastly, don’t forget about the importance of self-care. Journey Academy encourages you to prioritise your well-being, ensuring you have the resilience to provide the best care to our children while also taking care of yourself.

Due to the overwhelming response, Auslan will continue to be offered and the regular mandatory training will be covered by the Journey Academy as before – One can therefore say it is your one-stop Learning platform.
