WHAT IS IT:

The Sandbox Society is a FREE relaxed virtual sandpit facilitated by EPEC Education, where early childhood and Outside School Hours Care leaders come together to connect, work together, and develop workable solutions for the most difficult problems facing our industry. 


Your on-the-ground feedback shapes EPEC Education’s training and support tools so they’re practical, and current.


It’s casual in feel, serious in purpose: turning real insights into real solutions for services and students.
