Why Mentoring?
Running an ECEC service isn’t just about compliance or enrolments, it’s about developing a team that feels supported, confident, and equipped to stay.
Structured mentoring programs increases staff retention, strengthens practices, wellbeing, and improves outcomes for children.
Yet many workers tell us:
“I expected to be mentored, but I’m burnt out halfway through the year.”
“Leadership don’t see the value in induction support.”
“Training feels like box-ticking, not genuine support.”
Why Divergent Education?
We’re educators, just like you.
Our team comes straight from the sector, with firsthand experience in the classroom, in leadership, and in navigating the complex challenges of compliance, staffing, and service growth.
With over a decade of experience in management, leadership, and early childhood education, you’re partnering with people who understand the sector from the inside,
We know how to overcome the good, the bad and the ugly without losing yourself.
