Planning for infants is not about ticking boxes or meeting milestones. It is about understanding who each child is and what they are ready to explore.

This webinar unpacks how thoughtful planning and observation can create calm, engaging spaces where infants learn through every movement, sound and connection. We will explore how to design environments that stimulate curiosity, nurture emerging skills and build a deep sense of security and belonging.

Together we will reflect on how to read cues, respond to rhythms and plan experiences that support infants’ cognitive, social and emotional growth. You will leave with practical strategies and a renewed confidence in your ability to plan for infants in ways that feel natural, respectful and meaningful.
