Welcome to the first fkaCS eNewsletter of 2025.

We’re excited to share updates, insights, and resources to support your work with children, families, and communities. 

In this edition, we explore how to develop a meaningful approach to celebrating and acknowledging days of significance and how to be an active and supportive bystander in an early childhood education environment. 

Are you looking for a new opportunity to share your vision for high-quality, inclusive early childhood education? fka Children’s Services is seeking two new Board members. Learn more about these openings and consider joining our Board!

As we look towards Term 2, we continue to work collectively to deepen our shared commitment to cultural inclusion and belonging in early childhood education. 
Thank you for taking this journey with us.

Welcome to the final Members eNews for 2024!
In this issue, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our new website and free eLearning Series: Engaging with Multilingual Families about Kindergarten. In this edition’s feature article, we explore creating a Multilingual Ecology in Early Childhood that fosters linguistic diversity and awareness.
To support you in exploring Christmas we look at resources available in the Multicultural Resource Centre that encourage reflection about how Christmas
is ‘celebrated’, and how global traditions influenced the ways families and colleagues at your service mark the occasion.
