Meeting with educators and service leadership to understand the context and learning philosophy of the service
In-room and in-service reflective practice

Reflective Practice Training Package

1 x pre-training session

One pre-training in-room and in-service observation and assessment session by our consultant to develop a needs-based, individualised training program.

Blended model of delivery and online/virtual training available.

Communities of Practice Package

Co-location Package

A dedicated TraCS consultant/s co-located at your service

Intensive and responsive support for your educators and service  

Initial needs assessment and tailored training
In-room coaching and feedback
Ongoing tailored training and reflective practice
Collaborative and relational support

Tailored approach based on a deep understanding of your service, educators, children and families. 

Costs and inclusions

Packages start at $5,000 and all package options can be further tailored and customised to meet your service's needs and budget. Travel and accommodation are costed separately depending on your location.

Implementation considerations


Target population:	Early years staff working with children aged three to five.
Program adaptability:	TraCS has been designed to be customised to the needs of each Service within a framework of relational support.  There is capacity within each Package for elements to be delivered virtually/online via MS Teams or Zoom (to help reduce the cost of travel to your Service). Access to devices/computers to participate virtually will be required.
Staffing	It may be beneficial for Educators to be released occasionally from their contact duties to consult with a TraCS practitioner. Services should therefore consider the cost of backfill when determining the cost of accessing this resource.
