About Us

Strengthening Equitable Access to Unleash Life-Long Learners in Regional WA

Regional Early Education and Development Inc. (REED) is a non-profit organisation and a registered charity providing high quality early childhood care, development and education in over 26 rural Western Australian communities.

REED started in 2018 with only four child care services in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia

We have since expanded across WA, with services located across the Wheatbelt, Midwest, South West, Great Southern, and Goldfields-Esperance regions. REED has achieved exponential growth and success over a short period of time because all of our staff and our Board live our values.

We Love Seeing Regional Communities Thrive

REED offers a unique cluster model of management, working to reduce the burden on local Committees and Shires to provide these vital community services. Learn more about our cluster model and the merger process here.

Our Staff Enjoy the Best of Both Worlds

Local services retain their unique character and are encouraged to run their own innovative programs, but at the same time staff are able to access support and resources through REED cluster managers and our state-wide network of staff. We are an open, collaborative and feedback-driven organisation, and we proudly host a two day Educator Conference each year for all REED staff that includes a range of professional development workshops as well as paid accommodation, food/meals and mileage.

REED’s success in regional communities was recognised when we were named a Not for Profit/Charity of the Year finalist in the 2022 RISE Business Awards.
