Planning for 3 to 5 year olds is about designing learning that reflects children’s curiosity, ideas and growing independence. These years are rich with imagination, experimentation and growing social awareness.
This webinar explores how thoughtful planning can spark curiosity, extend thinking and support every child’s journey toward independence and school readiness. You will reflect on key developmental areas including early literacy, numeracy, social skills and emotional regulation, and how to weave these naturally into play-based learning.
Together we will look at how to design environments and experiences that value children’s voices, celebrate diversity and promote collaboration. You will leave with practical strategies to support individual learning styles and create inclusive, stimulating spaces where creativity and confidence flourish.

How Your Practice Will Change

• You will design environments that foster creativity, collaboration and joyful exploration

• You will integrate literacy, numeracy and emotional learning into everyday play

• You will strengthen your ability to recognise and extend children’s emerging skills

• You will develop strategies that build confidence, connection and readiness for the next stage of learning
