Pedagogical and Ludic Documentation

Suzanne’s approach, known as “The Original Learning Approach”,  is a dynamic process that allows educators to adapt and evolve with the children. It is firmly rooted in play, and joy is one of the essential threads; joy, is defined as the trinity of love, equity and well-being. 

Original Learning is a holistic approach that involves physical, cognitive, emotional, social and spiritual development and is sensitively connected to culture and context. 

By being play responsive we strive to ensure that learning is intrinsically motivated to create play AND learning flow. This means observing the play in order to understand how to teach.  

This is a live webinar and will not be recorded.

We ask that only early chldhood educators register for this 3 hour workshop as it is important to reach our target audience and ensure all activities can be fully engaged with by the workshop participants. More general  sessions  will follow in early 2025. Thank you for your understanding.
