Early childhood professionals are from diverse professional backgrounds. They
use multidisciplinary approaches to provide better support to families and draw
on the skills and expertise of their peers. Early childhood professionals:
• work collaboratively to share information and plan to ensure holistic
approaches to children’s learning and development
• understand each other’s practice, skills and expertise, and make referrals
when appropriate
• acknowledge the significance of transitions within and across early childhood
services and schools, and ensure that children understand the process and
have an active role in preparing for these transitions
• build on children’s prior learning and experiences to build continuity for their
learning and development from birth to eight years of age.
