I would just like to express my gratitude to for your consultancy services. I was very impressed with all valuable tools I learnt during the National Quality Framework Audit you did on our coordination unit. It was great to receive feedback from a different perspective. That experience exceeded all my expectations, we have so many new things on our QIP we didn’t even think of before and now we are actually implementing them. I can’t thank you enough for your time and advise. The quality of your service and commitment to your clients is exceptional. You made what could have been a stressful experience a smooth one and we will not hesitate to contact you again in the near future for more workshops."

July 2013
"Hi Alina,
I thought that you might be interested in the following evaluations and comments [about your recent workshop]:
- Great to get new ideas; very relevant and personalised, easy to follow and understand and excellent information.
- It was very relaxed but delivered with passion and enthusiasm, I loved listening to Alina speak.
- There was lots of practical support and ideas; it was fantastic and very informative.
- I feel more confident in what and how I am recording; it gave me comfort that we are doing okay and that our ideas are relevant.
- It was well worth the travel time; everyday practices need to be revisited with information from a professional; I got some new ideas to put into practice.
- Everything was valuable; I wasn’t aware of all the different ways to document; discussion targeted to people’s questions with practical solutions.
Thank you for a great workshop!"
Melissa, Mobile Children's Services Association, NSW

"Hi Alina,
One of the staff told me she is 'in love' with you and your perspective she had the most amazing time, another lady asked when we could book you again. These were the type of comments I mainly received so get the feeling you won't be a stranger. I have already forwarded some of your ideas onto other educators."
Glenda, Tadpoles Early Learning Centres, QLD
July 2013
"Hi Alina,
The conference was brilliant and so inspiring! As you already know we have changed heaps of things in our classroom and continuing further. Only few weeks away now from our accreditation. We have started an art gallery, still doing provocations and again it is a ongoing process that we are using big floor books for, as well as the wall! The kids are loving it! Documenting wise, mind maps, morning minutes, sequence of photos and kids art work brilliantly. I had worked in UK for 4 years as a pre-school teacher, and being through 3 accreditation's in different settings, however none ever came with such a variety ways of documenting as you! I even bought a few plants as recommended. Thank you once again for a fantastic experience, hopefully we meet again."
Kamila, Mona Vale Kindy, NSW
July 2013
"Hi Alina,
