💙 Confidence Champions – Celebrating Our People

At Learning Links, confidence grows through care, connection and encouragement – often in the small, everyday moments that make a lasting difference.

Through our Confidence Champions series, we celebrate the people who bring our brand promise of building confidence with care to life every day.

Meet our next Confidence Champion:

Lauren Broughall, Early Childhood Teacher – Sector Capacity Building

Lauren plays a key role in our Sector Capacity Building (SCB) program, where Learning Links partners with 52 preschools across the South West Sydney region. The program supports educators and leaders to strengthen inclusive practices, build capability, and create environments where all children – particularly those with additional needs – can participate and thrive.

Lauren works closely with educators and directors, helping them grow their skills, knowledge and confidence in supporting every child in their care.

Her approach is practical, collaborative and encouraging – creating a safe space for educators to learn, ask questions and try new strategies. Over time, this builds genuine confidence, with teams feeling more capable, supported and empowered in their roles. That confidence flows into the classroom and playground, supporting children to feel included, capable and confident in their learning.

This beautiful feedback from a Director at one our SCB preschools captures her impact:

“Lauren has been an amazing support to our preschool and always shares her wealth of knowledge.”

Thank you, Lauren, for building confidence with care and supporting educators to do the same. 💫
