An evening spent listening to @DanWuori who reminded us all that the early years of a child’s life are so important. What a privilege it is to be part of a child’s life, to be that role model ☺️ #ProudEarlyYearsProfessional
Our evening with @DanWuori last night reminded us that the role of all adults is to help co-construct children’s brains through love, nurture, music, reading & connection. As Dan said, be the role model you want to be and see reflected back to the world. Words to aspire to 😊

ALT Singing nursery rhymes can help children to develop emergent literary skills. Many rhymes are repetitive which can support the development of memory, and kickstart the practice of listening and speaking.

A thought provoking day at the ADES conference and an impactful learning opportunity. Interesting discussions around AI, curriculum design and the impact of the 1140 expansion in Early Years. Also reconnected with some colleagues from the ‘early days’ of my career. Magic ✨
Congratulations to our @DonnaGreenx and fellow collaborators for this excellent new publication. Great to see Falkirk establishments and their practice being celebrated. Well done! 👏 ⭐️🌟👏
