Definitely not! The Member Hub has a play based learning focus and although there are more structured factsheets and tools for educators to use for your own professional development the printables, activity guides and plans have been created to ensure children become active and engaged participants in their own learning. 

Think of the printables as simply tools to invite learning and play - not 'how they must play' or boxes to check off! My aim is to help you find ways to encourage learning through play - whether that is in an outdoor or indoor environment, a centre or home based environment.

Not at all! 

The Member Hub includes activities, training and plans for educators working with all ages from 0 - 8 years. There are separate plans for baby & toddler groups, 3-5 years and outside school hours care environments.

There is also a plan for mixed age groups 0-8 years - especially useful for those working in family daycare and home schooling environments.

No! Making more work for you would go against everything I want the Member Hub to be for educators! 

The idea is you take what you need from your Hub each week - that might be a plan or an activity idea, perhaps a 15 minute training video on something you are struggling with or maybe it's a checklist to print with the aim of helping you organise your observations.

There is absolutely no need to login everyday and do everything all of the time. You can combine the resources in the hub with what you are already using - whether that is in paper form or online with an app to make everything less time consuming for you.

In short, the busier you are, the MORE you need a simple, step by step, time generating, planning system in your work as an educator. And I get it.

You’re a super busy educator with a million things (and maybe even with children of your own to look after as well ) on your plate. That’s why Member Hub was built with one thing in mind:

Fulfilment. Helping you to get the practical stuff done and making real progress rather than just disappearing down some theory rabbit hole!

I’ve laid out all the steps in crystal clear fashion through e-books, videos and templates  so that you don’t have to worry about being your own leader or manager.

All you need to do is block off a little time here and there as you can, to follow the step-by-step processes that will guide you towards setting up your own simplified and ongoing planning cycle system – one that actually makes sense to you!

Definitely! I regularly have educators and parents from around the world buy my resources, attend my webinars, watch my online course videos and join my Facebook community so no matter where you work you will find value and help for your role in the Member Hub.

There are definitely references, links and resources for Australian educators to make working with the Early Years Learning Framework easier but I have made sure to link all activities, plans and videos to general learning areas and current approaches common to all early childhood professionals.

You could definitely try and that is certainly an option if you feel you are getting all that you need from surfing educational websites, reading books and interacting in huge Facebook groups to download bits and pieces of free stuff you then have to figure out how to use.

I certainly don't want you to purchase something you don't need -that is just wasting my time and yours so I want to make sure you make an informed decision!

But going on the emails and private messages I receive everyday, the majority of early years educators have very little time to spare and are already feeling overstretched with a work/life balance that is just not sustainable anymore.

By joining the Member Hub you can forget about endless hours searching for that template, activity idea or answer to your question - it's all there in the one place now and you can simply login when it suits you, download what you need, ask a question, talk to other educators or watch a training and download your personalised certificate.

I'm confident the hub is worth your time and money because I know I have already helped thousands of educators just like you over the past 5 years with my resources and back to basics style!

I’ve been sharing play based activities, programming strategies, tips for family day care educators, ideas for outdoor play & environments and more on my website since 2010.

I've also been developing and selling resources that save educators time and help them understand the basics for the past 6 years so I'm confident my work connects with educators just like you. The Member Hub includes the same type of content and the down to earth approach I have been sharing for many years online. My ideas, tips and tools have been used by educators around the world - for many different early childhood roles.

I value the level of trust and reputation for helpful resources and advice I have built with fellow educators through my website and social media pages so I am definitely not about making over the top promises to you that I can't keep just to make money!

If you need to know more about me though before you decide if Member Hub is for you visit my website, my Facebook page with over 37,000 followers, my Empowered Ed community group with over 17,000 members, my Pinterest page with over 65,000 followers. I'm pretty sure that many people can't be wrong about my support, ideas and reputation!

The great part about becoming a member is that you’ll be learning not only from me, but from other empowered ed's who’ve simplified their programming, become more organised, developed systems that allow them to now spend more time with the children in their care and ultimately know firsthand that there IS a way to get their mojo back and love their work again. I can't wait for you to get there with us!
