​curious minds - playful STEAM/stem in ecec
Did you know that STEAM—Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Maths—is now a key focus within the Aistear curriculum framework? This hands-on workshop will show you how to introduce rich, engaging STEAM experiences that support children’s natural curiosity and early learning from birth to six years. You’ll learn how to create playful, child-led STEAM activities using simple, everyday materials already available in your ECEC or SAC setting—no screens or digital devices required! All activities are designed to be fun, accessible, and aligned with Aistear’s goals for supporting holistic, inquiry-based learning. Whether you're new to STEAM or looking for fresh inspiration, this session will leave you feeling confident, creative, and ready to bring STEAM learning to life in your setting.
exploring the role of ai in ecec
Are you curious about how artificial intelligence can enhance your work in early childhood education and care (ECEC)? Join me for an inspiring and practical workshop where we explore how AI can become a powerful tool in your daily planning and practice. Discover how AI can support curriculum planning, spark fresh activity ideas, streamline admin tasks (like newsletters, parent handbooks, and communication), and help tailor experiences to the unique needs and interests of the children in your care. Whether you're in an ECEC or School Age Care (SAC) setting, you'll leave with practical tips and creative insights you can start using right away.
​I can also provide bespoke CPD training or advice based on the needs of your individual setting.
