Thoughtful support for early years teams who want to deepen practice, strengthen family trust and clarify their educational identity.
Kita/School Consulting
Many Kitas and schools offer warm care and rich opportunities for play.
Yet in the flow of a busy day, the depth of learning can go unseen. Practice may lean towards predictable, adult-led activities, while child-led play unfolds freely rather than purposefully. When communication centres on routines and logistics, families may miss the learning beneath the surface.
The problem
Early years practice shapes how children experience learning — and how families perceive the quality and identity of a setting.
Why this matters now
Two common areas of focus for early childhood teams
Developing environments that invite inquiry, support child-led learning and allow educators to respond in the moment. Together, we explore how space, materials and adult presence can be shaped to sustain children’s curiosity over time — creating learning environments where thinking is noticed, revisited and allowed to deepen naturally within the flow of the day.
Curiosity-driven learning environments
Strengthening how educators notice, articulate and share children’s learning in meaningful ways.
This work focuses on capturing moments that reveal individual thinking, interests and growth. Shared with intention over time, these insights help families better understand their child’s experience, deepen trust in the setting and feel more connected to the learning taking place each day.
Making learning visible to families
Initial consultation (no obligation)
Shared focus and planning
Active support and reflection
Review and next steps
Support is always tailored — never packaged.
How we typically work together
For setting leaders and educators who are not local, or who would prefer an initial reflective conversation, I also offer online consultations. These sessions provide space to slow down, talk things through and gain clarity — while recognising that in-person work allows for deeper observation, relationship-building and shared experience.
Online support focuses on guidance and reflection and does not replace in-person observation where deeper or more complex needs are present.
