After more than ten years of supporting Early Childhood Services in South Australia to grow and enhance Education for Sustainability practices EESSA Inc will soon be dissolved as an association.
This means we will no longer be offering workshops, conferences or networking sessions. Our website will continue and resources will be accessible until 2027. We thank all those services who have supported us over the years.
