Welcome to the Life Learning early childhood education blog, where we share practical, experience-based insights into how children grow, move, play and learn. Our articles draw on the experience of founder Maria Johnson, who has spent more than three decades in education and established the Little School preschools.

Whether you teach, lead a centre or are raising a young child, you’ll find ideas you can try straight away, along with explanations of the thinking behind them.
