Welcome to the online tutorial platform for Playing to Learn. Here you can access high quality, ideas filled CPD for anyone working with children age 0-5.
Specifically designed for those working in early years settings who find that face to face training is not practical or affordable, these training tutorials offer a budget busting alternative and a chance to build on your own best practice.
Delivered by early years consultant and author Kirstine Beeley, the tutorials offer access to an array of ideas which are affordble, exciting and easy to implement.
"Online training with Kirstine was just fabulous! Her deep understanding of child learning was still so easy to understand even when not face to face, with the major advantage of doing from the comfort of your own home. My team loved doing it this way. As a manager I found huge advantages to online training. A win win for staff engagement and budget constraints. "
