The planning cycle is a guide, it’s meant to help us navigate and have a process to follow in a supportive manner. But where most educators get stuck {and I did too} was in the where to go next.
You know that children make sense of their world through play. Those common interests of balls, cars, dolls and dinosaurs are the catalyst to the cause and effect, relationships, emotions and morals that the children are really exploring.
Just as children are trying to make sense of their world through researching...this is the KEY for you as the educator when in the planning cycle.
You've got precious time and energy and my role is to not waste it with boring, theory heavy workshops that leave you confused.
My secret sauce is being able to captivate you with inspiring and practical ideas that are tied to child development that actually help you right now.
Pause, rewind, repeat! Take as long as you need and watch it over and over. Curl up with your caramel machiatto and pumpkin cream cheese filled muffin and soak it all in to rejuvenate your knowledge & energy.
After you complete the workshop, simply fill in a form with your reflections & takeaways and you'll receive a 3 HR PD certificate within 5 business days. Only one certificate will be issued per member account.
You consume and discover new perspectives in many forms, from video, inspirational photos to reading. The online workshop is designed to engage you in a holistic learning experience that meets your individual learning style.
No need to get out of your leggings and drive to a community hall. Simply login on any device and choose a workshop from the collection to dive into.
You're a life long learner and excited to discover the practical and inspiring strategies inside this toolkit. There will be no waiting, you'll get instant access to the workshop right away!
Ever plan to attend a live training and then your busy life takes you away and miss the time frame? That won't happen here! You have all the time you need to go through each workshop as there is no time limit and you have unlimited replays!

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!”
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.
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.

THE PLANNING CYCLE
TERMS & CONDITIONS
PRIVACY POLICY
The live planning session was amazing and I can use so many ideas as inspiration, and got many tools for planning activities for children and the learning possibilities
The four phases of the planning cycle make so much sense and I can see how the cycle goes round and round and sometimes slows down in some areas and speeds up in others.
