The Sunshine Coast Child Care Workforce Community of Practice
The Sunshine Coast CCRR Program is bringing back our Child Care Community of Practice! This ongoing gathering will be a chance for child care professionals to come together, engage with each other, work through challenges, and draw on each other’s expertise. Our goal is to create shared inquiries (questions and queries about issues that are important to us), and then work through them as a group. We will also share our successes!
Sessions will take place on the last Thursday of every month, from 6:30 to 7:30pm. Email the CCRR to register and receive online links.
