1. Recognise

Early Years Teachers and the people who support them play a crucial role in laying the foundation for a child’s future success. Their dedication and hard work deserve to be appreciated and celebrated.

So, recognise the extraordinary work of your Early Years Teacher. Consider the valuable contributions they make to your setting, the meaningful bonds they form with pupils, and the support they provide to all practitioners.

2. Participate

Let’s celebrate! On the 15th of April, throw an unforgettable party with Early Years Teachers, all colleagues at your setting and of course your children!

We planned a day jam-packed with a variety of activities from the Build Baldwin a Home competition to webinars!

The winners of the National Early Years Teacher of the Year will be officially announced on National Early Years Teacher Day.

3. Celebrate!

Let’s celebrate! Throughout April we are hosting a series of Webinars such as supporting emotional wellbeing in Early Years, understanding the roles that shape children’s learning and the role of Early Years Teachers.
