About Course
Leadership Connexion aims to engage a wider range of early childhood leaders to participate in a leadership learning and networking session. It aims to encourage early childhood practitioners undertaking leadership roles to engage in a network of support and address current trends in leadership practice from non-early childhood leaders.
