The 2026 ECLD Immersion Experience is a unique event that promises to be unlike anything we’ve done before. Set in the beautiful surroundings of the University of Western Australia, this experience focuses on the theme of "Connections."

Participants can expect a full day of engaging, hands-on learning activities, including wellness sessions, drumming, outdoor exploration, and creative workshops that are integrated throughout the day.

Additionally, the Early Childhood Learning & Development WA Sector Awards will take place on Friday evening before the Experience. The Awards Ceremony will highlight the dedicated individuals and services that are shaping the future of Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) across Western Australia. Running alongside the 2026 ECLD Immersion Experience, the awards will serve as a platform to showcase and celebrate outstanding achievements within the sector.
