Engaging through Are You The G.O.A.T. Educators!

January 27th, 2026 Supplier Members

The Australian Childcare Alliance (ACA) NSW will host 2 Are You The G.O.A.T. Educators! (AYTGE) across Sydney beginning 2026 to:


  • introduce social scaffolding to communities of services;

  • support services with their recruitment, retention and team development of early childhood educators and teachers;

  • provide Supplier Members to support the sector and engage services.

Based on the Have You Been Paying Attention? quiz show, the AYTGEs will have 3 qualifying rounds and one (1) grand final.


At each round, services will put forward a team of 3 individuals to compete against 2-3 other teams. Each service's team must be composed with:


  • one early childhood educator; 

  • one Educational Leader; and

  • someone with regulatory decision-making responsibilities (eg Approved Provider, Nominated Supervisor or a Responsible Person).

The qualifying rounds will be held on Friday evenings after work with light dinner and drinks provided. And the grand final will be held on a Saturday afternoon. The winning team of each qualifying round will compete at the grand final.


Please note that at the qualifying rounds, only one team per Approved Provider will be accepted. And for the grand final, only the top 3-4 teams on points will compete.


Members of the winning team at the qualifying rounds will each receive a medallion. And the winning team at the grand final will host the perpetual trophy inscribed with the team's name and must be returned in anticipation of the next year's winning team.
