Learn to Play Therapy – COMING 2025

Learn to Play Therapy is a directive intervention for children who may find it difficult to engage in pretend play. The therapy enhances a child’s ability to engage in play with their peers and self-initiate their own play.

It all started with a book

Before Big School explores the academic, emotional, and social aspects of school readiness and is filled with practical ideas and activities which can be embedded into your day. With a focus on incidental, meaningful and play-based learning experiences, Before Big School aims to assist parents in preparing their children for school without the use of structured learning – no flashcards or worksheets required.

Before Big School is the guide that every soon-to-be school parents/caregivers need to invest in. It encompasses everything that we, as Primary School teachers, reinforce every day to families, especially when they are entering the Primary School chapter for the first time. Danielle has done an incredible job capturing all of the important parts of the transition to ‘Big School’, and has presented this in a user-friendly, non-judgemental, informative way.

It is honestly everything teachers wish parents/caregivers knew about their children beginning school. It includes practical checklists and activities to not only support this transition to school, but also to identify school readiness. A truly beautiful book that will help so many families during one of the biggest milestones in their little ones lives.
