In early childhood education, it’s easy to fall into the rhythm of planning activities rather than crafting experiences. This webinar invites educators to rethink how design, layout and environment shape children’s engagement and learning.
You’ll explore how thoughtful design choices support curiosity, autonomy and deep exploration across the day, not just during structured times. Together, we’ll unpack what it means to create spaces that nurture emotional connection, imaginative play and purposeful discovery.
You’ll leave with practical strategies to move from “What activity next?” to “What experience do we want children to have today?”

Together we’ll explore:

• How to move from activity-based to experience-driven practice

• The role of environments in shaping engagement, connection and curiosity

• Ways to design spaces that nurture growth and imagination

• How to create purposeful experiences that inspire both children and educators
