To support infants and toddlers, educators must provide safe, nurturing environments and cultivate warm, encouraging interactions. Teachers assist kids' growth in all domains—physical, social, emotional, and cognitive—by including play, movement, music, art, and sensory activities. Teachers must be able to recognise children's interests, respond quickly, and provide engaging lessons that span the curriculum. According to the Department of Education (2022), this is in line with the EYLF V2.0, which emphasises holistic learning and the value of belonging and being (Arthur et al., 2024).
