About EYES: Inspiring Education & Care Teams

Our Vision

With fresh EYES, and an understanding of your unique learning community, we design and facilitate interactive sessions and resources that encourage critical reflection around knowledge, practice, research and transformative thinking.

As educators, we continue on our own learning journeys, with the focus on improving ourselves, for the benefit of the children.

Your pathway as an educator is not a straight line, it twists and turns and never really ends. It is with this in mind, we facilitate, support, develop and involve your team in unpacking practice and engaging in deep pedagogical discussion and decision making.

The logo we use resembles the shape of an eye as if drawn by a child as a way of reflecting an emphasis and focus on children as the forefront of our thinking and decisions, as well as introducing the concept of our expertise as a ‘second pair of EYES’ on your service, practices and environment.

Who We Are

Early Years Education Specialists (EYES) evolved after a few years and lots of cups of tea as we pondered our own experiences in the education and care sector, and took time to respond to the changes, challenges, trends and shifts in understanding as dedicated professionals.

Our combined expertise, longevity in the sector and our commitment to life-long learning led us to working with preservice educators; emerging leaders and very experienced ones looking for support; and whole teams of all service types.

We value practical application of our sector documents, innovation and evidence-based practice. We support those in the sector to use their professional judgement in decision-making within their unique service context.
