Unlock children's learning through play with Reggio Play School Teacher Jayda Rivera

Time in nature and play are some of the best teachers for our children. Yet many children spend much of their days indoors in highly structured activities. 

Parenting becomes more manageable when I take my kids outside. We all calm down there and find endless ways to play. Do you as well? 

In this episode, I speak with Jayda Rivera, a Reggio Emilia Play School Teacher, all about how we can use nature and play to help our children learn and develop. Outside of her work with children, she educates parents and teachers and provides coaching services on nature play and the Reggio Emilia approach to teaching.

Jayda and I chat about: 

• Why child centred education is useful 
• The impact of nature on children’s education and learning 
• What the Reggio Emilia approach to education is 
• Why practicing noticing is so important 
• How we facilitate more play in our children’s lives 
• The importance of play for our children’s learning and development
• Why we need to practice slowing down and being present with our kids 
• How children learn best
