Back to Episodes(Fairy Dust Teaching) The Wonder of Play-Based Learning - with Sally Haughey
Description
During the pandemic, we lost the ability to teach in classrooms... with materials... and in person. But what we didn't lose was our connection and our community. And in fact, what we gained was a deeper realization that when preschool is stripped to its very core... at the heart of it all is wonder. Join us today as Sally Haughey shares with us the wonder of play-based learning.
Sally is the CEO and founder of Fairy Dust Teaching, a preschool built on the passion for the wonder and magic in early childhood. They believe young children have the right to play and to be collaborators in their learning. Above all, they give children permission to dream and follow their intuition.
Sally is also the author of the book the Wonder Art Workshop and she just organized a summit that brought together over 70.000 people in the preschool space! Today we discuss the power of community and relationships based on play, join us!
