📣 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬?

You might be getting enquiries.

You might be posting your vacancies.

You might even be having conversations with families.

But are you attracting the 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 families for your service?

Because filling your vacancies isn't just about getting more people through the door.

It’s about knowing how to communicate what makes 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 service different, having better conversations with prospective families and creating a process that helps the right families confidently say 𝐘𝐄𝐒. 💛

And if the thought of “selling” yourself makes you immediately uncomfortable, you’re definitely not alone.

That’s exactly why 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤 is joining us at Dream Lead Play ’26.

Maree is all about making sales feel 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐝, without feeling pushy or salesy.

At 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫’𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲, she’ll be sharing practical strategies to help you engage your ideal families, have better sales conversations and turn the right enquiries into enrolments.

Because you don't need 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 family.

📝 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠?

If programming has become another thing on your never-ending list that you have to 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞, Emma Rattenbury wants to help you look at it differently.

Because programming shouldn't be something that pulls you away from the children.

𝐈𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦. 💛

At 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 ’𝟐𝟔, Emma is getting practical about how we can make programming and documentation more meaningful, purposeful and connected to the children we're actually working with.

Not more paperwork for the sake of paperwork.

Not programming that feels disconnected from what is happening in front of you.

But a process that helps you 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 and makes programming feel achievable again.

That right there is one of the biggest reasons Dream Lead Play exists.

Because you can absolutely learn from a screen.

But there’s something different about 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦.

Sitting beside someone who understands the week you’ve just had.

Having a conversation between sessions that makes you realise someone else is navigating the exact same thing.

Asking the question you’ve been carrying around and hearing, “Yep, we’ve been there too.”

🤝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.
💡 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞.
💛 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐭.

Today is 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬' 𝐃𝐚𝐲, and I am not letting it pass without saying this loud and proud: 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲. 💛

Every single day, in your own homes, you are showing up for children and families in the most 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥, 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐡 way early childhood education has to offer.

You are the person a little one runs to when they fall over. You are the steady, familiar face that makes drop off easier for an anxious parent.

You are 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐮𝐦 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫, 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫, 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫, 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫, 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐫, 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐟 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫, often all before lunchtime.

This year's theme is 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐔𝐬, and honestly, nowhere is that truer than in FDC.

You are laying the foundations. You are shaping how these children see themselves, how they trust the world, how they learn to learn.

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠.

So today, from me to every single FDC educator reading this: 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

Thank you for your patience, your creativity, your compliance folders at 9pm, your big hearts and your bigger commitment to this profession.

You do not always get the recognition you deserve, but 𝐈 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮, and I am so proud to be part of this sector with you.

💰 𝐃𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞.

You invest $250 to get yourself into the room at 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 ’𝟐𝟔.

And what do you take home?

🎤 Four incredible speakers.

💡 Practical strategies you can start using as soon as you get home.

📈 Better ways to talk about your business, connect with families and fill vacancies.

🌿 Ideas to strengthen your practice.

💛 Tools to protect your energy.

👥 Strategies for leading, programming, compliance and the realities of working in this sector.

But here’s the part that actually matters.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔.

You take it back to your business.

You use it for the next enquiry.

The next family.

The next vacancy.

The next difficult conversation.

And then you use it again.

So instead of only asking:

“Is the conference worth the investment?”

Ask yourself something else.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬?

Because Dream Lead Play was never created just to put speakers on a stage.

Victoria Edmond has spent more than a decade in Family Day Care.

She founded 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐛𝐨𝐰 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 in 2013 and went on to create 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 during the pandemic.

She knows what this sector asks of people.

What it feels like to be 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐝.

To be 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐝.

To carry an enormous amount of responsibility while still being completely committed to the children, families and people depending on you.

Whether you’re the person delivering the care or the person leading the service, there are parts of this work that only someone who has lived it truly understands.

And sometimes, you need to be in a room where 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧.

A room where the hard conversations can actually happen.

Where questions can be asked.

Where experiences can be shared.

Where you can learn from people who understand the reality of the work.

That’s why 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 exists.

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭.

Saving the posts.

Watching the speaker Reels.

Sending the conference to your team.

Thinking, “I really want to go.”

🧩 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 ’𝟐𝟔 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞.

Because when we planned this conference, we didn’t want to give you five versions of the same conversation.

We wanted to bring together the 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬 that actually matter in Early Childhood Education.

🌿 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 + 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐨𝐧
Slow pedagogy, nature play and deeper engagement with children.

📝 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐄𝐦𝐦𝐚 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐲
Making planning and documentation more purposeful, collaborative and connected to children.

💛 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 + 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐢 𝐉𝐚𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐫
Recognising burnout, protecting your energy and creating a more sustainable way of working.

📈 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 + 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤
Better messaging, better conversations and connecting with the right families.

👥 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 + 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐄𝐝𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐝
Real conversations about investigations, compliance and navigating the realities of leading a service.

And a room designed to help you leave with more than inspiration.

💛 𝐀 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 ’𝟐𝟓...

The room.

The conversations.

The laughs.

The notes scribbled down because someone said something you absolutely needed to remember.

And, most importantly, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞.

There’s something pretty special about being in a room with people who understand this sector without you having to explain it.

People who understand the challenges.

Who care deeply about what they do.

Who are willing to share what they’ve learned.

And who remind you that 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞. 💛

Dream Lead Play has always been about more than sitting in a room and listening to speakers.

✨ It’s about learning.

🤝 It’s about connection.

💡 It’s about the conversations that happen between the sessions.

And very soon, 𝐰𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧.

This time, across two days created for the people who make Early Childhood Education what it is.

The never-ending list of things that need to be done.

But somewhere in all of that, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐢𝐭?

Burnout doesn’t always arrive with a big flashing warning sign.

Sometimes it looks like exhaustion you’ve started calling “normal”.

Sometimes it’s losing the joy you once had for your work.

Sometimes it’s simply feeling like you’re 𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐲.

🌿 That’s the conversation Sammi Jaeger is bringing to 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫’𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲 at Dream Lead Play ’26.

In her session, 𝐑𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐲? 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐭 & 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞, Sammi will share her own experience of burnout and introduce her 𝐅𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐔𝐩 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 framework.

It’s about recognising when you’re running low, understanding what is draining you and finding practical ways to restore your energy and create a more sustainable approach to work and life.

Because caring for others shouldn’t mean 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟. 💛
