Professional Development & Educational Consulting

At Sensory Play Co., we believe that the key to transforming education lies not only in providing enriching experiences for children but also in empowering educators to become the best versions of themselves. As experienced educational consultants, we are proud to offer professional development workshops that cater to the needs of teachers and schools, enabling them to flourish in their roles as facilitators of knowledge and creativity.

Our professional development workshops are thoughtfully crafted around the esteemed Reggio Emilia Approach, a pedagogical philosophy that places the child at the center of the learning process. This approach recognizes the child as a competent and capable learner, encouraging teachers to view their students as active participants in their own education. By embracing this mindset, educators gain valuable insights into nurturing each child's unique strengths, passions, and learning styles.

​

Through our coaching program, we delve into a series of comprehensive topics, each designed to enhance the educator's ability to create dynamic and inclusive learning environments. Let's explore some of the transformative workshops we offer:

​

1. The Living Organism: This workshop delves into the essence of the Reggio Emilia Approach, emphasizing the interconnectedness of learning and life. Participants will gain a profound understanding of how to facilitate organic and meaningful learning experiences that extend beyond the confines of the classroom.

2. Mastering Documentation: In this workshop, we guide educators on the art of documentation, an essential aspect of the Reggio Emilia Approach. Participants will learn how to effectively observe, record, and reflect on children's learning journeys, creating valuable insights for both the learners and themselves.

3. The Importance of Listening and Observation: We recognize that attentive listening and keen observation are the cornerstones of understanding a child's thoughts, emotions, and developmental progress. This workshop equips educators with invaluable skills to become keen observers and empathetic listeners, fostering stronger connections with their students.

4. Exploration: This workshop celebrates the spirit of curiosity and exploration. By embracing the Reggio Emilia Approach's emphasis on experiential learning, educators will discover innovative ways to ignite children's imaginations and encourage them to engage with their natural curiosity.

Our goal is to empower educators with the knowledge and tools they need to foster a love for learning and inspire a passion for discovery in their students. By embracing the Reggio Emilia Approach and incorporating it into their teaching practices, teachers and schools can create classrooms that become vibrant hubs of creativity and intellectual growth.
