Research resources for childcare workers?

I have to do a resource folder which includes websites on assisting in programming inclusive programs for children (prefably 0-6.)
Things to includes are:
Planning Resources
Childrens Play Resources
Childrens Books e.g. family, multicultural, indigenous, celebrations, etc
Information Centres- useful websites
Excursions and Incursions for children
Staff Professional Development Opportunities
Family Support and resources, etc

Have a look at www.melbourneschild.com.au – not sure if this is the type of stuff you are after…you can get a hard copy of this at some kids stores, dr’s, community centres, childcare centres…also http://www.education.vic.gov.au/about/news/edtimes/ will have info about P.D’s as well as some other stuff you might be able to use. Good luck
