    Season 2 - Episode 6: Being A Mum in ECE

    06/05/2026 | 31 mins.
    On this episode of The Educators Edit, Bec sits down with Cheree and Gabby, both educators and mums, to unpack what it really looks like to finish a full day in the room and head straight into parenting.
    From the double shift and emotional load, to the guilt, the funny moments, and everything in between, this is an honest, relatable conversation many educators will see themselves in.
    With Mother’s Day around the corner, this episode is a chance to reflect on the unseen work educator mums do every single day and why it deserves to be recognised.
    A little tissue warning for this one, it gets emotional.
    Real talk, a few laughs, and plenty of “that is so me” moments.

    Season 2 - Episode 5: ECE Around The World

    21/04/2026 | 44 mins.
    What if the way we approach early childhood education isn’t the only way? 👀
    In this episode of The Educator’s Edit, we explore early learning practices from around the world that challenge our Australian perspective, from outdoor sleeping in Scandinavia to forest kindergartens, risky play, and real responsibility for young children in Japan.
    We unpack how different cultures approach independence, risk, routine, and community, and ask whether we might be over-controlling children’s environments.
    This episode will get you thinking about what’s truly “best practice”… and what we could be doing differently.
