I'm often referencing Veronica's resources & ideas each day in my work
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.

Over the last 12 months, I feel I have evolved as an early years educator, I have definitely become more reflective. Ronnie puts so much interesting content into the course, it’s amazing. I am constantly inspired by her and her teaching style.
This course is different to any PD I’ve ever done before, I feel like I’m on an early years evolving path.

I am also a mom to a beautiful boy who's ASD diagnosis and understanding his sensory needs has deeply influenced me as an Early Childhood Educator. Which led for some pretty bumpy years of doubting my abilities and confidence while operating my own early years program.
Which is why it's my mission to support Educators by building their knowledge on child development all while discovering their sense of wonder & curiosity again.

I have walked educators through the steps over the phone too. You got this!
ANSWER
IS THIS A REGGIO TRAINING?
I have been embracing the philosophies and values of the Reggio Educators for many years, along with many other theories. I share my experiences and use resources from the REA along with many other theories to guide our learning. The REA is a way of thinking and not something we become certified in.
As with any philosophy or child development theory we learn, we'll implement it into our own contexts.
ANSWER
IS IT INSTANT ACCESS?
YES! After you complete your purchase, you'll receive 3 emails.
First, your receipt, second a welcome email with all the details and support to access your members area and finally the third is a link to complete your user account.
So that means within about 5-10 min after purchasing you'll be diving into your first workshop!
ANSWER
WHAT IS THE REFUND POLICY?
Your satisfaction of this workshop is my priority.
Due to the nature of these digital online trainings there are no refunds, any additional support that you need is welcome.
