.@DanWuori, from our team, is traveling the UK this month! He's speaking about #earlychildhood, presenting information from his latest book.
After some fantastic examples from across social media, we’re now delving into @DanWuori’s current book to bust ‘The Daycare Myth’! 🤯

Brilliant insights from @MissCBowes & @deirdre_grogan EY Conference @StrathEdu! 'Take time to see how children move through their spaces.' '..environment isn’t complete, we don’t just insert children.' 'In play, children are in charge.' Slow down, observe & respond!

Fascinating Early Years Conference @StrathEDU listening to @DanWuori & his insights were incredible! “Your face is like Google for babies” – they look to us to understand the world. A powerful reminder that early interactions shape lifelong development. #EarlyYears #PlayMatters

Pondering ‘love’ as our very first experience, supported by the neuroscience of learning & recognising the thalamus as ‘the heart’ of the brain. 🧠 🩷
“The relationship between babies and their Mothers is a human’s greatest love story!”

@DanWuori @deirdre_grogan @StrathEDU
All the way from the USA to Scotland & @StrathEDU, @DanWuori speaks of misunderstanding & undervaluing the importance of the Early Years!
