Wellbeing

Early childhood educators play a critical role in the lives of young children. Supporting their well-being is an individual, community and organisational responsibility. This study examines the social and environmental factors that influence early childhood educators’ relaxation and provide new insights to better support well-being.

Children understand and experience relaxation in their own way. This can be different from what adults understand. Researchers at the Institute for Social Science Research at The University of Queensland investigated how young children in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) experience relaxation.
