Questions leaders ask before they get in touch.

The Team Practice Reset is one 90-minute session on one issue — behaviour, families, documentation, consistency. The Confident Practice Program is all six areas for the whole team, run as one 3.5-hour intensive or embedded across a term at staff meetings. The Educational Leader Partnership is monthly coaching for your educational leader so the change sticks after the session. Most centres start with a Reset.

Usually the Program, in the Embedded format. It runs as team PD across the term, so the educator who needs the family-conversations module gets it alongside everyone else — nobody is pulled aside, and the whole room gets more consistent. If it's one specific moment, a Reset on that topic does the same job in 90 minutes.

A small-group version of the six areas for new and internationally trained educators, run in weeks two to ten of their employment — four 45-minute sessions, up to six starters. It catches the wobble around week three, before it becomes a pattern. Run it alongside the Program or on its own for a cohort of new staff.

Every session is built around your rooms — your age groups, your families, the moments your team named. So yes, but you don't need to ask for it; it's how the Reset and the Program work. If your issue isn't one of the six areas, describe it and Louis will tell you whether he can build something.

Really. Sessions are on your feet: pairs and trios role-play the actual moments — the parent at pick-up, the child who hits — with your children's names, three times until the sentence stops feeling strange. If a slide appears it's a photo and a question. Educators remember what they've said out loud.

Yes. Online sessions are live, cameras on, with breakout pairs for the role-plays and the chat for the questions people won't say aloud. Same scripts sheet and action plan as in-centre. Louis runs them for teams anywhere in Australia, in your usual staff-meeting slot. There is no recorded or self-paced version, deliberately.

In-centre across Melbourne. Interstate by arrangement — travel and accommodation quoted upfront so there are no surprises. Online for any centre in Australia.

Up to 20 in a session, so everyone actually gets to practise. Larger teams and multi-site providers: ask — Louis often runs two groups or a combined online session.

Whenever your staff meet — after-hours staff meetings are the most common for a Reset or the Embedded Program; a PD day or a closure day for the Intensive. Evenings and Saturdays are fine.

Every option includes the Team Check before and two weeks after — a picture across the six areas of practice, not a feelings survey — plus a leader debrief with Louis on what he saw and what to reinforce. The Embedded Program adds a one-page leader note after each module.

Yes. Every module is aligned to NQS Quality Areas 1, 3, 5 and 6, EYLF v2.0 and the APST, and you get the mapping in writing so it drops straight into your QIP.

Named case studies are being written up from the first Resets and Programs. Until then: leader references on request, and the Google reviews from educators who've done a session with Louis. Louis is also offering pilot terms to two centres in exchange for documenting the before-and-after — ask if that interests you.

There's no rate card on the site, on purpose — investment depends on your team size and the format that fits your roster. Tell Louis what you're seeing and he'll quote it in his reply: a straight number, within a business day, no obligation.

Louis reads it himself and replies within one business day with what he'd run, why, the investment and the dates he has — or a straight "this isn't what you need yet, try the Team Check with your staff first". No follow-up sequence, no calls you didn't ask for.

Of course. Use the form and start with "Question:", or email contact@praxibel.com.

A free two-minute diagnostic for leaders: eight questions about your service — never about you — that give you a snapshot across the six areas and the one place to start. There's also a three-minute version for educators. Both are free, and Louis uses the anonymous results to pitch a session at the right level.
