Designing early childhood spaces is about more than beauty; it’s about creating environments that work for real people, every day. The experiences and rhythms of daily life should guide both the practical and aesthetic choices that shape a centre.

In this webinar, we’ll unpack what “getting it right” really means: from how a room flows to how it feels. We’ll explore how design decisions, big and small, can support wellbeing, collaboration, and a sense of belonging for children and educators alike.

Through real examples and reflective prompts, you will learn to design spaces that are not only functional and safe, but inspiring and emotionally responsive.

You'll walk away with the insight and confidence to:

• Use everyday experiences to guide authentic design decisions

• Blend beauty and functionality to create spaces that truly work

• Strengthen environments that support wellbeing, connection and growth

• Design with purpose, creating spaces that feel as good as they function
