Pedagogical Narratives
Starting $50
In the ever-evolving world of Early Childhood Education (ECE), it’s important to stay on top of best practices. Pedagogical narratives are a powerful tool for documenting a child’s play and observing how they make meaning of their world. By focusing on the ordinary moments of play, we can see children as capable individuals and note their mastery of skills and areas of development. Our pedagogical narrative service allows educators and parents to be facilitators of a child’s growth, rather than enforcers of mandatory learning outcomes. We can come to your center to document these moments, freeing up staff to continue their nurturing work. Contact us to discuss how we can work together to bring this service to your center or family.
Play Storm
$50 for 45 minutes
Are you looking to boost morale, catalyze ideas, and empower your team? Our Play Storm service is here to help. With over a decade of experience in team leadership, we can come alongside your staff to infuse creativity into your play-based center. Whether you’re part of a large staff team or run a center by yourself, we can provide the encouragement and brainstorming sessions you need to take your center to the next level.
Play Workshops
$60 for 2 hours
Parenting can be tough, but it’s also an opportunity for growth and bonding with your child. Our Play Workshops offer a chance to discuss common parenting issues and develop strategies that involve play to help handle them better next time. We’ll cover ways to harness the power of play to leverage your parenting skills, strengthen your bond with your child, and support them on their developmental journey. Join us for an upcoming workshop and take the first step towards more joyful and meaningful parenting.
