About Course
Leadership Booster is designed for experienced centre leaders looking to strengthen their core competencies, as outlined in the Leadership Development Framework.
This interactive and engaging course introduces participants to a range of management tools that support key leadership skills, including inclusivity, communication, decision-making, and talent development. A key feature of the programme is a curated learning journey to a non-early childhood organisation, offering fresh perspectives and best practices in management.
Led by experienced facilitators, Leadership Booster goes beyond theory, focusing on practical application and personal growth. Participants will be encouraged to refine their leadership identity, challenge existing mindsets, and connect with a like-minded community of leadership practitioners.
Note: This course will be conducted face-to-face.
Exclusive for the inaugural April 2025 intake: 12 free leadership coaching sessions worth $1,800!

- Develop greater self-awareness and embrace reflection as a continual part of leadership growth.
- Apply management tools to enhance their leadership practice.
