We invite educators to deepen their professional gaze and embrace questioning as a powerful pedagogical tool. Together, we will explore how intentional, collective wondering can shape our decisions, refine our image of the child, and transform everyday routines into meaningful inquiry. Through a lens of curiosity, we will reimagine environments, materials, and moments of care for children under three, uncovering what becomes possible when teaching begins with a question rather than an answer.

This is a chance to slow down, notice differently, and rediscover the joy of professional wondering as the heart of your practice.

What You’ll Notice, Rethink, and Refine

• Notice how professional wondering can transform the way you see and respond to children under three.

• Rethink everyday routines and care moments as opportunities for inquiry, connection, and learning.

• Refine your understanding of the child by viewing practice through a lens of curiosity and possibility.

• Strengthen a culture of shared reflection, where questions guide growth and transformation.
