AFFORDABLE & SELF-PACED LEARNING

your role takes lots of energy & patience

YOUR CONTINUOUS LEARNING SHOULD BE REPLENISHING
You're a lifelong learner.  You're passionate about making a positive impact in children's lives... but you need PD that supports you in today's world with new ways of thinking beyond traditional strategies.
Gone are the days of boring theory driven workshops.  ​
​You'll be rejuvenated and excited to put your new learning into action!

would your role be different if...

You stopped wasting time searching for other people’s ideas?
You knew how to setup up the materials to communicate for you?
You felt less frustrated and knew what to do when the children didn’t engage?
You knew how to use provocations as a proactive tool to support children exhibiting behaviours?
Your planning process opened up more time for observation, reflection and documentation?

i wonder if you can relate to one or both of these scenarios

After a long day of nurturing and scaffolding children's learning you have to stay at work for a two hour workshop that doesn't interest you or leaves you with more questions.

or

Picture
Paid for a webinar that was either only LIVE or had a short window to rewatch the training. You knew was going to support you, but life happened and you couldn't get there.
You have very limited time and resources to learn all the new strategies it will take to support the children, families and grow as an educator.
Picture

your learning should be connected and it should put the pieces together

Not leave gaps, more confusion and frustration which then leads to not being able to create the change and impact you're so passionate about!
The time, energy and attention needed is high in order for you to continue your growth... but what if

you have a simple and easy to use
​toolkit to reach into that is
accessible & affordable.

So that you can...
Picture
Use loose parts for all ages that enhance children's learning
Plan provocations around multiple interests each day
Get your time back to connect, observe and document more
Use the art of provocations to meet individual needs
Understand behaviours and learn simple ways to move forward

there! I'm Veronica...

I have the honour of supporting and cultivating communities of like-minded early childhood educators from all over the world.  I am deeply influenced by the Reggio Emilia Approach which focuses on a strong image of the child, educator and family all while creating a learning environment that is a reflection of your values and principles as an educator. 
I have the honour of supporting and cultivating communities of like-minded early childhood educators from all over the world.  I am deeply influenced by the Reggio Emilia Approach which focuses on a strong image of the child, educator and family all while creating a learning environment that is a reflection of your values and principles as an educator. 
​This approach has been an integral part of my 8 year journey as an early childhood educator through discovering how to listen to and understand our son through his sensory processing needs and diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

​Discovering the magic and power of loose parts along with their connections to aiding sensory processing, I have learned to understand behaviour as a form of communication and developed an early learning program that was inclusive and filled with wonder and curiosity for all children.

​
Curating quality professional development for my fellow educators is a true passion and honoured journey.  Within each workshop I carefully connect important theory from child development and share how I have made integral reflections that transformed my practice.

Veronica's insight and innovative ideas regarding supports for children with sensory needs gave me so much new perspective and inspiration to bring back to my own classroom and teaching practice. Veronica’s passion for early learning radiates and I find I’m often referencing resources and ideas she’s shared with me each day in my own work.

I always walk away with new insights and perspectives. Her courses are informative, yet offer practical ideas for implementation.
COLLEEN BERG

You could have not explained Provocations / Emergent Curriculum / Reggio Emilia Approach any more clearer.  You have helped many childcare educators and gave them the tools and guidelines to teach in a whole new way. 
LAURA ENGLAND
AUTHOR & EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATOR
Her knowledge on sensory needs covered everything I needed to know to prepare myself for teaching children with a sensory processing disorder and it was great to learn from someone with first hand experience.
LEAH HOGAN
EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATOR
I learned how to 
listen to their interests and their wants, putting creating EXPERIENCES ahead of planning activities so that it is more memorable for the kids and they gain a better learning experience.
