A Flexible Approach to
Childcare
Our Social Enterprise Mission
Clann's Know n' Grow Training and Resources capability is an alliance between the Clann Group and The Education Professionals. It is part of the Life. Be in it.' JobsNOW Initiative and independently monitored by OSSNET to ensure quality standards.
The core objective of our Clann social enterprise is the establishment, delivery and support of industry-focused, practitioner delivered, high-quality education, training and resources for the Early Childhood Services sector to build public trust and confidence in home-based childcare. In particular we have developed a sensible, safe and secure opportunity to restructure informal childcare (one million children nationally) into quality small businesses.
Through our Networks we can also advise on, and facilitate, training pathways for many other areas of study including, functional english, small business, and early childhood disability care.
We are beginning in Geelong with a pilot project to train and qualify up to 500 new Regional Family Childminders and Educators using our Earn 'n' Learn program; part of the Life. Be in it. JobsNOW initiative. Your interest and possible involvement is welcomed.

A place where exceptional home based early childhood service providers can hone their skills and 'earn while they learn to provide a quality standard of family child care where learning through healthy active play is a priority.
