Description

The Kudos Regulate, Relate, Educate (RRE) program builds educator capability to create calm, inclusive, and engaging preschool environments by embedding regulation and relationships at the centre of practice.

RRE supports educators to understand behaviour as communication, respond to neurodiversity, and deliver play-based learning in ways that engage all children, including those at risk of social, emotional, or behavioural challenges.

The program combines interactive workshops with in-class coaching, enabling educators to translate theory into practice within their own settings. Educators identify strengths, set targeted goals, and implement evidence-informed strategies with ongoing support.

RRE is informed by trauma-informed and neuroaffirming approaches, incorporating recognised frameworks to strengthen social competence and emotional regulation. It is delivered as a sequenced program of workshops and coaching sessions designed to create sustainable change in educator practice and centre-wide culture.

Expected outcomes include improved educator confidence and capability, more inclusive and responsive learning environments, increased child engagement, and reduced behavioural challenges.

Expected outcomes for this program:

  • Improved educator understanding of communication differences, neurodiversity and behaviour as communication.
  • Improved ability to implement strategies that support regulation, engagement and inclusive participation.
  • Improved classroom environments that promote safety, belonging and learning through Tier 1 and Tier 2 supports.
  • Increased child engagement and reduced behavioural challenges through consistent, relationship-based practice.

How this is delivered

The program is delivered as a structured, six-session model combining workshops and coaching, totalling 12 hours of support.

It includes three interactive workshops and three coaching sessions, delivered by Kudos facilitators either in person, online, or through a hybrid model.

Workshops build educator understanding of inclusion, communication differences, and regulation, supporting teams to identify strengths, set goals, and develop practical strategies aligned to Tier 1 and Tier 2 supports.

Coaching sessions are delivered within the preschool environment where possible, enabling real-time modelling, guided practice, and reflective problem-solving. Educators are supported to apply strategies within everyday routines, play-based learning, and transitions.

Sessions are tailored in collaboration with each service to align with operational needs and priorities. The program emphasises supported implementation, with educators regularly reviewing progress, refining approaches, and embedding consistent practices across the centre.

Optional additional coaching and family workshops can be included to strengthen sustainability and extend impact into the home environment.
