What RAMSR has done for centres.
This centre's kindy room was presenting with high levels of dysregulation during group times, arrivals, and transitions. Educators were managing significant behavioural challenges daily, and the lead educator described feeling "constantly in crisis mode." The Director had tried a range of approaches but nothing had created lasting change. Educator morale was suffering.
"I expected to see results over months. I didn't expect educators to come to me in week two and say the room felt different. That's when I knew this wasn't just another program."
A small Victorian sessional kinder with a team of four educators, ranging from a beginning educator to an experienced lead, had no shared approach to regulation. Each educator handled challenging moments differently, and children were experiencing inconsistent co-regulation support. The Director wanted consistency but had a limited budget and couldn't afford specialist programs.
"What surprised me was that even our newest educator started using the strategies confidently. It gave the whole team a common language, and that changed how the room felt every single day."
A South Australian community preschool serving families in a high-vulnerability area was supporting a cohort with significant regulation, developmental, and behavioural needs. The Director needed a practical, centre-wide approach that could support all children, not just those with identified needs, and that could be justified as evidence-based practice to families and assessors.
"Our families are dealing with a lot. Being able to tell them we use evidence-backed regulation practice, and show them what it looks like, has made a real difference to how they trust us with their children."
