Supporting Educators to Create Inspiring Play Spaces
At Play To Learn, I support Early Childhood Educators, Kindergarten Teachers and early learning services to create thoughtful, engaging play environments where children can explore, imagine, create and learn through play.
With over 27 years of experience in Early Childhood Education, I understand how important the environment is in inviting children into meaningful, open-ended play. I carefully curate natural, low tox and sustainably sourced resources that can be used in a variety of ways, encouraging creativity, curiosity and independent learning.
Visit Me or Have Me Visit You — Sunshine Coast
If you’re an Early Childhood Educator or Kindergarten Teacher on the Sunshine Coast, there are two easy ways to explore the Play To Learn collection.
I can visit your service with a curated selection of resources for you and your team to explore. This is a wonderful opportunity to see the resources in person and discuss how they could be used within your play spaces. I also offer 14-day invoicing for eligible early learning services.
Alternatively, you’re welcome to visit my Sunshine Coast studio by appointment, where you can explore a much wider selection of natural, open-ended resources and discuss your needs with me in person.
Of course, you can always browse my website and email me for invoice payment options.
Play Space Consultation — Australia Wide
Opening a new centre, refreshing an existing environment or looking for guidance on creating more inviting play spaces?
I offer personalised play space consultations for early learning services Australia-wide via Zoom. Together, we can look at your environment, discuss your philosophy and the children you’re supporting, and explore ways to create purposeful spaces that encourage open-ended play, imagination and learning.
For Sunshine Coast services, I can also offer in-person consultation where appropriate.
Resources for Your Early Learning Environment
My collection has been thoughtfully chosen with early childhood environments in mind, including:
- Natural and open-ended resources
- Wooden toys and loose parts
- Small world play resources
- Resources for imaginative and sensory play
- Materials for seasonal and nature-inspired play
- Resources that encourage creativity, problem-solving and independent play
- Low tox and sustainably sourced options
I’m passionate about helping educators move away from spaces filled with too many predetermined toys and instead create simple, inviting environments that give children the freedom to explore ideas and use materials in their own unique ways.
Whether you’re looking for a few carefully chosen resources or guidance for an entire play environment, I’m here to help.
Sunshine Coast educators: I’d love to visit your service or welcome you into my studio by appointment.
