Nurturing Emergent Literacy and Maths Through Play-rich Symbolic Exploration and Expression

What makes play a powerful foundation for early literacy, mathematics, and more?

There’s no shortage of opinions on play-based learning. Our world is swirling with conflicting messages—some suggest play should be purely child-led, while others emphasise teacher direction. The uncertainty can leave both new and experienced educators questioning their approaches. 

How can you find intentional equilibrium? How might you design opportunities for play that effectively support emergent skills while also embracing joy and curiosity?

Join Tonya Gilchrist for this engaging, research-informed session where you'll gain clarity on the what, why, and how of symbolic exploration and expression in early childhood development—and leave equipped with strategies you can use immediately.

In just one hour, you will:
  • examine what symbolic exploration and expression really are and why they’re critical for literacy and maths
  • explore specific strategies for designing meaningful play invitations and provocations
  • develop a clear understanding how play-based learning strengthens self-regulation and executive function—key skills for lifelong learning.

Empower young learners through thoughtful, play-rich experiences that inspire curiosity, creativity, and agency. Whether you're an early years educator, casual teacher, specialist, or school leader, this session will leave you feeling confident and energised to support young children throughout their learning journeys. 


Learning Outcomes: 

  • Understand the what, why, and how of symbolic exploration and expression in early childhood development and education
  • Explore practical examples of how to intentionally design invitations and provocations that authentically support emergent literacy and mathematics 
  • Understand the why of play-based learning, how it supports children in developing self-regulation and executive function, and the vital importance of these skills in foundational literacy and mathematics as well as in life

The Brain Behind Behaviour (Birth to 5)

Everyone has an opinion on what to do with young children's behaviour, most people miss the deeper "why". The Brain behind behaviour is here to change that. Rooted in developmental theory, attachment science and sensory understanding, this webinar is what I wish every big person knew about why little people do what they do. Furthermore, what we can do about it.  

This webinar is a crash course for Early Childhood Teachers on how the brain is built in the formative years, why children struggle and what drives dysregulation. It aims to provide a very simple framework that can be used to understand behaviour through unpacking 3 hidden needs to fuel tricky behaviours.  

Learn practical strategies that align with a relationship focused approach to guiding and supporting social and emotional wellbeing.

Learning outcomes:

  • Learn how the brain develops and why children struggle emotionally
  • Learn about the nervous system and how behaviour is linked
  • Enhance your understanding of why relationships are key to supporting brain development and behaviour
  • Creating a culture of emotional safety in early learning classrooms 
  • Discover the 3 hidden needs that drive behaviour
