KNOW WHAT TO USE, HOW TO SET THEM UP AND CONNECT THE LEARNING
You imagine a space where even the littlest learners are deeply engaged…
Where infants and toddlers explore with wonder.
Where your environment supports curiosity.
Where play is meaningful, inclusive, and full of possibility.
Where you feel confident, creative, and connected in your role.
Where infants and toddlers explore with wonder.
Where your environment supports curiosity.
Where play is meaningful, inclusive, and full of possibility.
Where you feel confident, creative, and connected in your role.
But getting there can feel messy and uncertain.
What materials are safe?
How do I even begin?
Will it actually work with my group?
What if it could feel a little easier—and a lot more magical?
You might be thinking...
"Can I even use loose parts with 0-2 years? " which leads to analysis paralysis and not trying.
You're not sure how do to introduce loose parts to infants & toddlers and worried they'll dump everything!
You have a desire to use loose parts, but not sure what items are safe and how to deal with the constant mouthing of all the items.
You've been slowly using more open-ended items but the repetitive pulling every item off the shelf is making you second guess their learning what you hope for them.
As an Early Childhood Consultant, I've been sharing my ideas, knowledge and practice with thousands of educators just like you on curating an inclusive program and nurturing children’s capabilities with experiences filled with wonder and curiosity.
Over the last 10 years I don’t just have a collection of loose parts…
I have a library!
A library filled with curiosity-driven materials that helped me find clarity in my role, made my planning process easier, become proactive with behaviours and one of the best parts... helped me find my sense of creativity and love my job again!
And, to this day, I continue to be mesmerized by these incredible materials.
Don't Worry Cause Loose Parts Play is my...JAM!
Hey there!
I'M VERONICA.

Easy to listen to & she just draws you in
Veronica is so easy to listen to and shares her information in such a way that it just draws you in and gets you excited to learn more by using props, videos, real life scenarios, etc. She is very knowledgeable and better yet passionate about her work, and it shows! If you ever get the chance to learn from her, don’t miss the opportunity- you won’t regret it!”

Transformative & practical guidance
Ronnie's transformative and practical guidance throughout the programme helped me to connect with my own style, values and strengths and use them to create a wonderful learning space for the children, parents and educators. I am so much more confident and it shows. We recently had an inspection and were commended on our interactions with the children, environment and child-led approach.

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.

Thanks for a wonderful introduction to loose parts! Learning about how loose parts support development will be helpful when introducing loose parts to any program.
ELIZABETH CROWDER
EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATOR
I have a much more clear understanding about actually implementing and introducing loose parts into my classroom now. This provided concrete ideas about what to include, how to display them, and how to support my preschoolers in their play.
MERANDA PAQUETTE
EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATOR
I love how simple you made it seem. Loose parts can be very overwhelming especially for someone just starting out. Funds are always tight, so it's nice to see how simple and inexpensive the materials can be.
JUDI MOYLE
EARLY CHILDHOOD TRAINER
I have been in the industry for 100 years, and needed support for my new Educators and finding you has given me everything I was looking for.
SUSAN MERIWETHER
EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATOR
I was concerned about supplying Loose Parts opportunities for younger children, but you did a great job of providing ideas for all ages.
