About the Program:

The Positive Early Childhood Education (PECE) Program is a professional learning program aligned with the world-renowned Triple P – Positive Parenting Program®. The PECE Program seeks to enhance the skills of early childhood educators, with tools to have a positive impact on the development of children in their care. This ultimately promotes children’s academic development, social competence and self-control, and enhances educator/child relationships as well as communication with colleagues and parents.

This proven program has been shown to reduce workplace stress and increase job satisfaction for happier workplaces with the benefits of successful and consistent teamwork in the Early Learning and Care Sector.

The evidence-based program is based on research about what works to have a calm and positive atmosphere in early learning settings (including home-based). The online PECE course is a professional learning program designed to promote positive self-regulation and social competencies in children while fostering strong educator/child relationships as well as those with colleagues and parents.
