Principle 1 The best way to prepare children for adult life is to allow them to be children (Bruce 2015). We are not advocates of 'school readiness'. We do not rush children through stages.We respect where they are and respect childhood as a stage in its own right. 🙋🏽‍♀️if you agree

An incredibly exciting, inspiring and nostalgic day with fabulous trainers from @FroebelTrust ! We Loved day 1 of element 1 and learnt so much. Today has taken me right back to my Days of training as a Nursery Nurse (hence the nostalgia)! Oh my heart is full! ♥️♥️

So... I'm really enjoying re-visiting the sewing webinar and pamphlet @FroebelTrust and I think I may start a little community sewing project 🤔

@WestrayAlison congratulations! So well deserved. I still slowly read this book and refer to it often. The @FroebelTrust table cheered loudly fir you and we were all so pleased 😊😊
