Big Steps Day on Saturday November 17 was a hit, bringing out a great deal of support from the community for undervalued early childhood educators. The events were well covered, and I’ve collected up some of the major coverage here.

SMH: Caring for children is no picnic, say workers

Canberra Times: Childcare workers rally for more pay

Fraser Coast Chronicle: Childcare workers take action to gain higher wages

Herald Sun: Child care workers march for better pay

By Liam McNicholas

I am an experienced early childhood teacher, writer and advocate. As well as managing community not-for-profit early childhood operations in a variety of roles, I have advocated for children's human rights; the need for investment in early childhood education; and for professional recognition and wages for those working in early childhood education and care.

I am available to be commissioned for freelance writing, editing, event speaking and consulting work.
