Overview

Regulate, Relate, Educate (RRE) program builds educator capability to create calm, inclusive, and engaging preschool environments by embedding regulation and relationships at the centre of practice.

RRE supports educators to understand behaviour as communication, respond to neurodiversity, and deliver play-based learning in ways that engage all children, including those at risk of social, emotional, or behavioural challenges.

The program combines interactive workshops with in-class coaching, enabling educators to translate theory into practice within their own settings. Educators identify strengths, set targeted goals, and implement evidence-informed strategies with ongoing support.

RRE is informed by trauma-informed and neuroaffirming approaches, incorporating recognised frameworks to strengthen social competence and emotional regulation. It is delivered as a sequenced program of workshops and coaching sessions designed to create sustainable change in educator practice and centre-wide culture.

You’ll learn:

  • How to recognise communication differences, understand neurodiversity, and view behaviour as a form of communication.
  • Practical strategies to support regulation, engagement, and inclusive participation for all children.
    Ways to create classroom environments that promote safety, belonging, and learning through Tier 1 and Tier 2 supports.
  • Relationship-based approaches that increase child engagement and reduce behavioural challenges through consistent practice.
