Lachlan wants to make a difference in the lives of children. Having faced his fair share of challenges for someone so young, Lachlan decided it was time to pay forward the acts of kindness he received by becoming an early childhood educator.

As part of his traineeship, Lachlan was enrolled in a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care at Atkinson Training and Development and employed at A Magical Time Children’s Centre.

Suffering significant health issues in Year 10 that required a lengthy recovery time, Lachlan was unable to return to school and decided to pursue his passion for educating kids.

Bringing his fun, nurturing and patient nature to every interaction during his traineeship, Lachlan was immediately adored by colleagues, families and, most importantly, the children in his care.

Now tackling a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, Lachlan has a future he’ll forever be grateful for.
