Easter in Early Learning
10
12:00 AM - 12:45 AM
Easter is a familiar celebration in early learning, but finding fresh, meaningful ways to bring it to life each year can take time and thoughtful planning.
Many services are looking for Easter ideas that go beyond the usual activities and instead create engaging experiences children genuinely enjoy and educators feel confident delivering.
In this short, sharp webinar, host Sithmi Rajapaksa is joined by guest speaker Sellina McCluskey to explore Easter in Early Learning, sharing practical ideas and examples drawn from real service experience.
Together, they’ll unpack:
- Ways to plan and deliver engaging Easter-themed experiences in early learning settings
- Activity ideas that support creativity, play and learning
- How to move beyond one-off activities to more meaningful Easter experiences
- Opportunities for sharing practice and learning from others
The session will run for 45 minutes, including time for audience questions, discussion and shared ideas.
This is a practical, idea-focused session for early childhood educators and leaders looking for inspiration and confidence when planning Easter in their services.
