Welcome to HGT EDU!
OMG you found us! We can't even start to explain how excited we are to have you here! Just settle in, enjoy exploring and if you have ANY questions at all, don't hesitate to ask... We will warn you though, we are pretty good at coaching, so we'll probably support you to figure out the answer yourself. Kidding! We are happy to help. We do challenge you to ask the question
What if you ask the question, you get the support you need, and this is the first day of the rest of your career which is set on a whole new trajectory? It's so simple and yet so impactful.
Go on, trust us!
We've got you!
What if?
Who are we?
At Hourglass Time Education, we are specialists in early childhood operations, leadership, and quality — with decades of experience guiding services to stabilise, strengthen, and shine.
Through our HGT Quality Partnerships, we take an all-hands-on-deck approach: restoring compliance, enhancing culture, and lightening the load for Directors, Committees, and Approved Providers.
We partner with services to embed sustainable systems, lead with clarity, and drive innovation — not just meeting standards, but elevating them.
Our Growth Leadership Programs develop confident leaders, strengthen team practice, and bring your vision to life through a blend of in-service support, coaching, professional learning, and strategic consultancy.
Grounded in values of humility, authenticity, and Hourglass Time — our calm, child-paced approach — we bring expertise, heart, and hands-on support to every step.
If you follow our socials, you will also see Michelle, Shell, Meagan and Amy presenting at conferences, travelling around Australia supporting services with Mock Assessments and hosting special events.
We support services with Preschool and SRF PD opportunities, Building Design, Approvals and Operations through partnerships.

Are you looking for a PD course you can complete in your own time?
We recommend our 5 Love Languages of Leadership Course that focuses on strategies to support you to lead an engaged team who feel acknowledged (loved). 'People leave leaders not organisations', this inspires us at Hourglass Time Education to consider these approaches to support whole service success through leadership.
