Good Start Early Childhood Conference
The GoodStart Early Childhood Conference is more than just an event—it is a movement to empower, inspire, and transform the early childhood education community. At its heart lies a mission to build a vibrant community of practice that equips, supports, and advances inclusion in preschools.
The theme for this year’s conference is “Do(n’t) Play Play”. This playful, tongue-in-cheek theme emphasizes the critical role of play in building connections, fostering learning, and creating inclusive and joyful environments. As Singapore celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2025, we seek to remind our leaders and educators that cultivating a playful mindset is essential for our nation to thrive in an ever-changing world. What better way to embrace this spirit than by introducing the power of play to children, parents, and the wider community?
The conference will focus on four key strands:
Building Inclusive Classrooms through Play
Learn how to create environments where every child feels valued, and how play can support diverse abilities and backgrounds.
Creating Joyful Classrooms through Play
Explore how play can bring joy to learning, transforming classrooms into dynamic spaces for growth.
Making Family Time Count through Play
Discover how families can move away from screens to engage in meaningful, active play that strengthens family bonds.
Bridging Generations through Play
Learn how play fosters connections between young and old, promoting shared joy and mutual respect across generations.
Join us for a transformative experience that celebrates collaboration, inclusion, and the boundless potential of play and learning!
